I am currently working on this. However, I would like to split this effort
into multiple patchsets. A first one addressing the problem of needing to check for
specific information from PMDs (such as IMB_VERSION_NUM), which should not
have any effect on the number of test cases ran for each PMD, and another one which
addresses your comment, and that will enable test cases for all PMDs.
This last patchset will require testing from all PMD maintainers and it is a less urgent
problem to resolve, so we can decide if we want to merge it in this release or wait
for more time in 20.08.

Thanks,
Pablo
