This series brings several improvements to the PCAP PMD: - Update documentation to reflect actually supported features - Code cleanups: remove unnecessary rte_malloc/rte_memcpy usage, convert flags to bool, remove global variables, avoid volatile - Add MTU set support for single interface mode - Add Tx offload support - Support nanosecond timestamp precision - Add comprehensive test suite
This was done via mix of new code and AI feedback.
