There is one, and this is why the new offloads API simplifies applications life.
The txq_flags were introduced so application can disable some of the Tx offloads from the time the Tx offloads were set by default.
Now the Tx offloads are all disabled by default. And there is an option to set each one of the using DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_* flags.
Look on the Rx side (there the Rx offloads were disabled by default in the old API). there is no rxq_flags.

Because those 2 new offloads were missing a way to set in testpmd.
The rest of the offloads can be set using the CLI commands exists today.
Am not sure we want every Tx offloads to be set from both CLI and command line arguments.
It wasn't before (for example there was no --disable-tso flags).
