[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] app/testpmd: fix little perf drop with XL710

[Xiaoyun Li]

There is about 1.8M perf drop with XL710. And it is because of a
bitrate calculation in the datapath. So improve it by maintaining
an array of port indexes in testpmd, which is updated with ethdev
events.

Fixes: 8728ccf37615 ("fix ethdev ports enumeration")

v2:
* Update ports_ids when user attach or detach a port.
