OK, is this purely for display purposes within testpmd? I ask because
it appears that all PMDs supporting per-queue offload configuration already
take care of combining port-level and per-queue offloads within their
tx_queue_setup()/rx_queue_setup() functions and then track the combined
set of offloads within a per-queue field, e.g. this line is common to
e1000/i40e/ionic/ixgbe/octeontx2/thunderx/txgbe rx_queue_setup()
implementations:
    offloads = rx_conf->offloads | dev->data->dev_conf.rxmode.offloads;

And rte_ethdev.h says:
   No need to repeat any bit in rx_conf->offloads which has already been
   enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure() at port level. An offloading enabled
  at port level can't be disabled at queue level.

Which I suppose confirms that if testpmd is combining per-port and per-
queue offloads, it's just for the purposes of testpmd.

Apologies for worrying at this even more, I just wanted to be sure that
I understand what the PMD is expected to do.
