Thanks.

I know that many test cases in new target are indifferent to port type,
but it's a long and boring task to find out which of this ~500 tests
are really useful. (Many of them are 100% useful. For example:
'dpctl/flow-get' currently broken in master and fixed in this patch-set)
Also, this requires a huge refactoring of testsuite to be able to run
particular tests with different port types.

Yes. This is actually the real purpose of this series: To prepare
environment for new PMD specific tests. I prepared only 4 tests here,
but it's easy to write more with this patch set. And I hope we
will extend 'tests/pmd.at' a lot in the future.

That's would be great.

Actually no. Previously I thought that it will require serious refactoring
of original testsuite, but now I realized that it's easy to put all
tests together in 'make check'.

So, I can add all this tests to 'make check'.

What do you think? And would you like me to post v2 with all tests in
one target 'make check'?

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
