> 
> The current approach detects the proxy port on each port (re-)plug and may
> spam the log with error messages if the PMD does not support flows.
> As testpmd is a debug tool, it must not do such implicit port handling.
> Instead, the new API should be called only when the user requests that.
> 
> Revoke the existing code. Implement an explicit command-line primitive to let
> the user find the proxy port themselves. Provide relevant hints.
