That's a good idea, I also like that it sort of detaches this method
from the subtle requirement that testpmd is started with an allow list
of ports. This requirement is enforced right now, but I think it makes
more sense for this method to operate based on what testpmd is aware
of anyway. It does add another patch to the dependency chain though,
we should probably prioritize getting the info caching patch into
next-dts.
