It is not good idea to have PMD specific APIs (although we already have some).

Specific to this case, as far as I can see it is to pass a config value and do
the action related to it, what would you think having a generic key/value
set/get API in ethdev for this? Similar to rawdev get_attr/set_attr [1]?

My concern is it may turn into something like ioctl with many things pushed to
it, and cause possible duplication ...
