I think it is better to change the order of this patch, first implement
new API in ethdev, later this patch implement new API in testpmd.

It is not clear what reset does to the port. This is only for VF right?
Adding reset here hides that it is for VF.

This may be unintentional.

So each port started will register a callback to handle reset events,

1- isn't this overkill for the usecases that does not need this reset?
2- should there be an unregister event?
3- This issue can be fixed in testpmd, but for user application, is this
the suggested way?

Since we already know the port_id (pid), why iterating through all ports?

Can there be a timing issue here? Is it possible that reset occurred
already and we are in the middle of the callback function when this
check done?
