Hi,

Please don't split ethdev, testpmd and doc in different patches.
They are all very related and may come together in a single patch.

You should mention bifurcated driver capability:
in isolated mode, with mlx5, we can receive directly in the kernel.
Are we able to do the same with Linux TC rules?

Should we understand it is the opposite of isolated mode?

You should make explicit that the traffic is directed to the kernel,
without going to userspace at all.
A reference to the isolated mode would be worthwhile as well.
