Is there a way to "re-run" existing patch sets through the
ci/intel-Functional tests? or is the only way to re-submit the same
series to dev at dpdk.org?

Additionally, in the case of failures how do we extract artifacts for
diagnosis? for large tree-wide changes it's quite difficult to rely
entirely on code review to guess what caused a failure.

Thanks!
