The following is a list of tests executed with 21.08-rc1:

- Basic functionality:
  Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- testpmd xstats counter test.
- RSS tests.
- VLAN filtering tests.
- Rx Checksum tests

    net/sfc: improve logging in MAE backend of flow API

    Errors detected during parsing of pattern items and actions
    are reflected by setting RTE error, but the name of the bad
    element is not disclosed, thus leaving the user to join the
    dots themselves. Adjust the code to log missing information.
