  At the moment, PCAP interfaces use dummy MAC by default. This change
adds support for selecting PCAP physical interface MAC with phy_mac=1
devarg. This allows to setup packet flows using the physical interface
MAC.

Just to double check did you check/verify below code on FreeBSD?

Having this comment is good, but "iface" is so generic, it may be confusing for
beyond this context, what about "only if iface devarg provided" kind of detail?

This is causing build error because of "key" not used, needs __rte_unused marker.

Do you need count check at all?

I would prefer to see this block below ETH_PCAP_IFACE_ARG check, this block is
for "iface", so it makes more sense to me first verify it, later verify phy_mac

I did run a manual test of the added code and seems to work. I think it is still better to run DPDK on it to make sure everything works, so I'll do that before sending next revision.

Yes, let's elaborate that.

Yes, need to fix this.

I think it is needed, as the arg may not exist there. At least to me calling process directly does not feel right, even if it would work.

Sure, I'll add it.

As there is already pcap-related MAC address patch merged, I'll need to do a rebase and recheck this patch functionality on top of that. It will take some time (which is a scarce resource at the moment), so I'll try to get this in again after 18.11.

Thanks,
