Sure that works for me. Its probably best to break out the create/run into
a helper function, just to save code-duplication:
int eventdev_selftest_impl(const char *pmd, const char *opts)
{
int id = rte_vdev_create(pmd, opts);
return rte_eventdev_selftest(id);
}
int eventdev_selftest_sw()
{
eventdev_selftest_impl("event_sw", "");
}
int eventdev_selftest_octeontx()
{
eventdev_selftest_impl("event_octeontx", "");
}

I think it actually makes more sense to use "event_sw" over "event_sw0".
The PMD name is constant, while the 0 is an arbitrary instance name.
So I think we should keep the change.
