Update the test status for Intel part. Till now dpdk22.11-rc3 test execution rate is 65%.
One new critical issue is found, hope it can be fixed in 22.11.

app/testpmd: support multiple mbuf pools per Rx queue

Some of the HW has support for choosing memory pools based on the packet's size. The pool sort capability allows PMD/NIC to choose a memory pool based on the packet's length.

On multiple mempool support enabled, populate mempool array accordingly. Also, print pool name on which packet is received.

Find one new bug about "[DPDK22.11] idpf: failed to start port all", Intel dev has provided fix patch, and validation team verify passed, hope it can be merged into RC4.

Hi Yu,

Can you please verify v5 too?
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/[email protected]/

There will be a v6 too, but I expect the logic will be same but it will have some code reordering and documentation update.

Thanks,
