I'm removing the list moving at dpdk.org as we are discussing implementation details.

Why do you want to differentiate them in patchwork?

There are 3 views of test reports:
1/ On a patchwork page listing patches, we see the counters S/W/F so
we can give attention to patches having some warnings or failures.
2/ On a patchwork page showing only one patch, we see the list of
tests, the results and the links to the reports.
3/ In a detailed report from the test-report ml archives, we can see
exactly what's going wrong or what was tested successfully (and what
are the numbers in case of a performance test).
