Testpmd is intended to exercise drivers, not as a production forwarding application though users have tendency to be lazy and use it for that. If consensus is to implement this, then DPDK should really have a way to parse a range of values (already needed for cores). Then the library code could be used here, rather than special parsing code only for VLAN's in testpmd.
