1. start two server memifs
./dpdk-testpmd -l 1-2 --file-prefix=pmd1
--vdev=net_memif0,socket=/run/memif_wx0,role=server
--vdev=net_memif1,socket=/run/memif_wx1,role=server -- -i

2. start one client memif
./dpdk-testpmd -l 3-4 -m 4096 --file-prefix=pmd2
--vdev=net_memif0,socket=/run/memif_wx0,role=client,zero-copy=yes
--single-file-segments -- -i

port 0 is up
testpmd> show port info 0
