Update the test status for Intel part. Till now dpdk22.11-rc3 test execution rate is 65%.
One new critical issue is found, hope it can be fixed in 22.11.

        Date:   Thu Nov 10 15:46:31 2022 +0530

                app/testpmd: support multiple mbuf pools per Rx queue

                Some of the HW has support for choosing memory pools based on
                the packet's size. The pool sort capability allows PMD/NIC to
                choose a memory pool based on the packet's length.

                On multiple mempool support enabled, populate mempool array
                accordingly. Also, print pool name on which packet is received.

Hi Yu,

Can you please verify v5 too?
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20221121124546.3920722-1-hpothula@marvell.com/

There will be a v6 too, but I expect the logic will be same but it will
have some code reordering and documentation update.

Thanks,
ferruh
