Update the test status for Intel part. dpdk25.11-rc1 all validation test done.
found 8 new issues.
New issues:
1. vxlan/vxlan_ipv6_checksum_offload: get incorrect checksum value for the
inner L4 -> has fix patch
2. cpfl_vf_representor_rte_flow/port_representor_probe_scan: port attach
failed -> has fix patch
3. [ice]kernelpf_iavf:test_iavf_dual_vlan_insert: received packet outer vlan
is incorrect -> has fix patch
4. virtio_unit_cryptodev_func/test_cryptodev_virtio_autotest: test failed
-> Intel dev is under investigating
5. [Crypto][QAT intree]crypto_perf_cryptodev_perf: dpdk-test-crypto-perf is
unable to get max_nb_queue_pairs regardless of crypto_scheduler argument ->
Intel dev is under investigating
6. setting DCB on the i40e nic causes testpmd to core dump
-> Intel dev is under investigating
7. the nic is still sending pause frames when the traffic stops
-> Intel dev is under investigating
8. Bug 1795 - checksum_offload/do_not_insert_checksum_on_the_transmit_packet:
core dumped occurred when send packets
-> Intel dev is under investigating
