I'm not convinced of the logfile solution. I'd like to keep it simple
and contained. Logfile means having to provide a name, or use a default
one with several drawbacks, and a pretty leaky design.

I will add a handle mask that will enable or disable this logging
feature. The default mask would then enable it for LSC and other such
sporadic events, while disabling it for the VF Mbox one. It will be able
to be fine-tuned and configured at runtime by a parameter and/or testpmd
command.

I'll propose it soon.
