I have just had a quick look through the l3fwd and didn't find any codes to 
check what ptypes capabilities ae provided by stuff below DPDK PMD & its base driver.
L3fwd only check an input argument "--parse-ptype" to enable ptype check implemented in
a Rx callback function.
In this l3fwd rx callback function,  it has done the same thing as my code.
Anyway, I'd like to provide a v2 patch to deal with this issue in a uniform way.

Thanks & Best Regards
