Update the test status for Intel part. Till now dpdk22.07-rc2 test execution rate is 85%. Till now, two P2-high issues are found.
Intel Dev have provided fix and test passed, other common issues need to be confirmed and fixed by Intel Dev.

# Basic Intel(R) NIC testing
* Build or compile:
 *Build: cover the build test combination with latest GCC/Clang version and the popular OS revision such as Ubuntu20.04, Ubuntu22.04, Fedora36, RHEL8.6 etc.
  - All test passed.

* PF/VF(i40e, ixgbe): test scenarios including PF/VF-RTE_FLOW/TSO/Jumboframe/checksum offload/VLAN/VXLAN, etc.
        - Execution rate is 85%. Find 3 new issues, two have fix, other is under investigating.

The testing with dpdk 22.07-rc2 from AMD looks good.
Following functional testing is done:

* Basic NIC IO forwarding (single/multiple queues/cores)
* Basic cryptodev
	* AES-CBC128 SHA1-HMAC
	* AES-CBC128 SHA2-256-HMAC
	* AES-GCM-128

Systems tested:
   - Platform: AMD EPYC 7713 64-Core Processor (2 Socket)
      OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
      NICs:
       - Mellanox MLX5 CX-6


Tuning guide: AMD Milan DPDK tuning guide (BIOS and Kernel)
