Hi Hanumanth,

Thanks for expanding support for the NIC-to-PMD Rx metadata feature.
I do not object the idea of the patch, it looks aceeptable.
However, please find my comments below.

In accordance with the above "printf", one should have 2 space
characters between the opening double quote character and "--".
Also, it is quite common to capitalise "R" in "Rx".
The space character before "\n" seems redundant.

Regarding the option name, I would appreciate if it gets more
precise and clear. Consider: "--nic-to-pmd-rx-metadata".
I do not insist on this particular name.

Perhaps it pays to have a bit more verbose description as well.
Consider: "let the NIC deliver per-packet Rx metadata to PMD".
