  Since testpmd is now using the new Ethdev offloads API there is no
need for the txqflags configuration.

txqflag command-line option (--txqflags=0xXXXXXXXX) and command (port config all
txqflags value) are way to dynamically provide Tx offload configuration to testpmd.

Why you are removing them without providing equivalent feature with new offload
APIs?

Patch 3/4 & 4/5 adds new command-line options to enable some of recently
introduced Tx offloads in testpmd, why not add a generic way to update all Tx
offloads instead of those two specific offloads?

Also this patch removing ability to display current Tx offload configuration....

There is one, and this is why the new offloads API simplifies applications life. 
The txq_flags were introduced so application can disable some of the Tx offloads from the time the Tx offloads were set by default.

Now the Tx offloads are all disabled by default. And there is an option to set each one of the using DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_* flags.
Look on the Rx side (there the Rx offloads were disabled by default in the old API). there is no rxq_flags.

Because those 2 new offloads were missing a way to set in testpmd.
The rest of the offloads can be set using the CLI commands exists today.

Am not sure we want every Tx offloads to be set from both CLI and command line arguments.
It wasn't before (for example there was no --disable-tso flags).

I mean providing a testpmd command and command-line option.
Or am I missing it, after this update is there a way to update enabled Tx
offloads in testpmd via command and command-line?

I was thinking a generic command-line instead of introducing one for all,
overall single variable represents all offload values, why not set it at once,
as --txqflags you are removing in this patch.

I mean following:

  -	printf("  TX RS bit threshold=%d - TXQ flags=0x%"PRIx32"\n",
  -	       tx_conf->tx_rs_thresh, tx_conf->txq_flags);
  +	printf("  TX RS bit threshold=%d\n", tx_conf->tx_rs_thresh);

Why not an offloads replacement of this one?

There is a way to update via CLI
For example when doing "tso set <mss> <port>" the DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_TSO will be set
When doing tx_vlan add <port> <vlan> the DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_INSERT will be set
Same for every Tx offloads besides DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS  and DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE which I added on separate patches. 

But to make it precise you didn’t had before (with the txq_flags) a way to disable TSO from the command line (the is no TXQ flag for that) nor the tunnel TSO.

+1 for Ferruh. --txqflags argument was very handy in testing features in 
batch mode. Let us have something equivalent.

It is there. Checkout v2 of the series, an equivalent parameter was added: tx-offloads.
