Thanks for the patch. But with this change the field of pf_vf cannot omit either.
I think it still looks confused because it will allow any meaningless string. In 
MAC_VLAN or TUNNEL mode, why not just use pf.

Maybe an optional field supporting on DPDK cmdline library is exactly what we
Are waiting for :)
