Back on this. I've just submitted a v2 for the software packet type
patchset:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-August/045876.html

As promised, I did the exercice of moving the the software packet type
parser in librte_net. I did it on the sw ptype patchset, but it would be
almost the same for the mbuf checksum function calculation of this patchset.

The most notable differences between v1 and v2 are:

v1:
- rte_pktmbuf_get_ptype() is in librte_mbuf
- only headers in librte_net
- librte_mbuf depends on headers in librte_net

v2:
- rte_net_get_ptype() is in librte_net
- librte_net is now a real library (.so or .a)
- librte_net depends on librte_mbuf

Please, let me know if you have any comment. Depending on them, I'll
adapt the v2 of this patchset too.
