Hi Gregory,

The were some questions around testpmd part of this patch in previous version,
they are not answered and this version is dropping the testpmd part.

Is it safe to remove the testpmd part? If so why was the changes for at first place?

And can you please reply to the questions on the testpmd patch for the record?

Thanks,
