- *
- * Note that physical ports are not necessarily tied to DPDK input ports
- * (port_id) when those are not under DPDK control. Possible values are

- * may not be contiguous.
- *
- * As a device property, the list of allowed values as well as the value
- * associated with a port_id should be retrieved by other means.
- *
- * A zeroed mask can be used to match any port index.
