Hi Amber,

Thanks for the patch. I've left some responses below.

> Subject: [PATCH v1] system-dpdk.at: Improve mfex test to include dpif avx512.

For the commit title, how about:
system-dpdk: Fix mfex autovalidator tests.

And adding a "Fixes:" tag?

For the AT_SKIP_IF statements, only one argument should be given (one set of 
[]). Please search "AT_SKIP_IF" on 
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.67/html_node/Writing-Testsuites.html
 for more information.

Also, having a look at how AT_SKIP_IF is supposed to be used and how it is 
actually used in OVS, I don't see anywhere that a command to change an OVS 
setting is run inside an AT_SKIP_IF. I think we should just use an AT_CHECK 
like I have below because we will only get this far if the above AT_SKIP_IF 
passes which means CPU ISA is available for AVX512 MFEX and DPIF impls.

AT_CHECK([ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/dpif-impl-set dpif_avx512], [0], [dnl
DPIF implementation set to dpif_avx512.
])

What do you think?

The above points apply for this AT_SKIP_IF too.
