I can confirm this works.

Lots of difficult to run the selftests on a light fw but step at times
I'm managing to make use of them (could be helpfull to add some comments
in the .config saying that the testing port needs to be declared in the
struct) (and maybe some additional checks on the kind of device type are
required for the test to actually work (vrf, dummy, macvlan...)

Anyway a run of local_termination.sh produce the following output.

Things doesn't look good to me or I am wrong?
