Previous usages are all "promisc" instead of "unicals-promisc". Is this
to promisc mode for multicast packets? If so testpmd calls them
"allmulti" I guess, so they won't cause trouble.

Can we keep using command: "promisc"?

Can you please differentiate the keyword and variable by wrapping
variables with <>? Like:
"set vf unicast-promiscuous <port_id> <vf_id> on|off"

Should we mention this is PMD specific feature and only enabled with
some PMDs?
