We should decide how to implement PMD specific APIs in testpmd, and be
consistent about it.

Currently there are two approaches:

1- Wrap PMD specific feature and API with and PMD #ifdef, as done here.

2- Enable feature by default, return -ENOTSUP for port_id that does not
support it. Ex: cmd_vf_rxvlan_filter.

I am for second option. And explicitly not disabling I40E driver does
not mean you should have those NICs in your runtime environment, so the
effect will be same as always enabling it.


And since number of PMD specific APIs are increasing, perhaps we should
find a better approach for testpmd to prevent them corrupting testpmd.

Also it may worth to discuss why number of PMD specific APIs are increasing.
