Hi Thomas,

OVS validation completed by Intel on RC4 below.

* vswitch_p2p_tput: vSwitch - configure switch and execute RFC2544 
throughput test.
* vswitch_p2p_cont: vSwitch - configure switch and execute RFC2544 
continuous stream test.
* vswitch_pvp_tput: vSwitch - configure switch, vnf and execute RFC2544 
throughput test.
* vswitch_pvp_cont: vSwitch - configure switch, vnf and execute RFC2544 
continuous stream test.
* ovsdpdk_hotplug_attach: Ensure successful port-add after binding a 
device to igb_uio after ovs-vswitchd is launched.
* ovsdpdk_mq_p2p_rxqs: Setup rxqs on NIC port.
* ovsdpdk_mq_pvp_rxqs: Setup rxqs on vhost user port.
* ovsdpdk_mq_pvp_rxqs_linux_bridge: Confirm traffic received over vhost 
RXQs with Linux virtio device in guest.
* ovsdpdk_mq_pvp_rxqs_testpmd: Confirm traffic received over vhost RXQs 
with DPDK device in guest.
* ovsdpdk_vhostuser_client: Test vhost-user client mode.
* ovsdpdk_vhostuser_client_reconnect: Test vhost-user client mode 
reconnect feature.
* ovsdpdk_vhostuser_server: Test vhost-user server mode.
* ovsdpdk_vhostuser_sock_dir: Verify functionality of vhost-sock-dir flag.
* ovsdpdk_vdev_add_af_packet_pmd: Test addition of port using the 
af_packet DPDK PMD driver.
* ovsdpdk_vdev_del_af_packet_pmd: Test deletion of port using the 
af_packet DPDK PMD driver.
* ovsdpdk_numa: Test vhost-user NUMA support. Vhostuser PMD threads 
should migrate to the same numa slot, where QEMU is executed.
* ovsdpdk_jumbo_p2p: Ensure that jumbo frames are received, processed 
and forwarded correctly by DPDK physical ports.
* ovsdpdk_jumbo_pvp: Ensure that jumbo frames are received, processed 
and forwarded correctly by DPDK vhost-user ports.
* ovsdpdk_jumbo_p2p_upper_bound: Ensure that jumbo frames above the 
configured Rx port's MTU are not accepted.
* ovsdpdk_jumbo_mtu_upper_bound_vport: Verify that the upper bound limit 
is enforced for OvS DPDK vhost-user ports.
* ovsdpdk_rate_p2p: Ensure when a user creates a rate limiting physical 
interface that the traffic is limited to the specified policer rate in a 
p2p setup.
* ovsdpdk_rate_pvp: Ensure when a user creates a rate limiting vHost 
User interface that the traffic is limited to the specified policer rate 
in a pvp setup.
* ovsdpdk_qos_p2p: In a p2p setup, ensure when a QoS egress policer is 
created that the traffic is limited to the specified rate.
* ovsdpdk_qos_pvp: In a pvp setup, ensure when a QoS egress policer is 
created that the traffic is limited to the specified rate.
* phy2phy_scalability: LTD.Scalability.Flows.RFC2544.0PacketLoss
* phy2phy_scalability_cont: Phy2Phy Scalability Continuous Stream
* pvp_cont: PVP Continuous Stream
* pvvp_cont: PVVP Continuous Stream
* pvpv_cont: Two VMs in parallel with Continuous Stream
* VFIO validation

These were carried out for ixgbe (ixgbe_vf), i40e (i40e_vf) and ice pmds.
