+1 for this. I would prefer support in vhost pmd so that it could be tested with testpmd. About the testpmd patches, if it's for testing dma device itself, usually we create a new app (now testpmd only tests ethdev). If vhost pmd also needs some user input, just make it a devarg. Make sense to you?
