Subject: [RFC PATCH] dts: add PVVP case to virtio suite
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:51:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251217195155.32350-1-dmarx@iol.unh.edu> (raw)

Add an additional test case to the virtio_fwd suite which
tests packet forwarding across a physical-virtual-virtual-physical
topology.
