Hi, Kevin

RedHat QE did not find any new issues about 21.11.5 rc1 dpdk during the
tests.

I tested below 18 scenarios and all got PASS on RHEL9:

   - Guest with device assignment(PF) throughput testing(1G hugepage size):
   PASS
   - Guest with device assignment(PF) throughput testing(2M hugepage size)
   : PASS
   - Guest with device assignment(VF) throughput testing: PASS
   - PVP (host dpdk testpmd as vswitch) 1Q: throughput testing: PASS
   - PVP vhost-user 2Q throughput testing: PASS
   - PVP vhost-user 1Q - cross numa node throughput testing: PASS
   - Guest with vhost-user 2 queues throughput testing: PASS
   - vhost-user reconnect with dpdk-client, qemu-server qemu reconnect: PASS
   - vhost-user reconnect with dpdk-client, qemu-server ovs reconnect: PASS
   - PVP  reconnect with dpdk-client, qemu-server: PASS
   - PVP 1Q live migration testing: PASS
   - PVP 1Q cross numa node live migration testing: PASS
   - Guest with ovs+dpdk+vhost-user 1Q live migration testing: PASS
   - Guest with ovs+dpdk+vhost-user 1Q live migration testing (2M): PASS
   - Guest with ovs+dpdk+vhost-user 2Q live migration testing: PASS
   - Guest with ovs+dpdk+vhost-user 4Q live migration testing: PASS
   - Host PF + DPDK testing: PASS
   - Host VF + DPDK testing: PASS

Test Versions:

   - qemu-kvm-6.2.0
   - kernel 5.14
   - dpdk 21.11.5-rc1
