Subject: [PATCH] app/testpmd: add option to not start device
Some configuration options can not be tested properly with testpmd
because it automatically starts all ports. This makes it harder
to test driver handling of configuration options:
(for example rx_deferred_start).
Add new command line flag --disable-device-start which skips
the device start. The port can then be started manually later.
