The old API does not have a 'name' parameter, so needs to work out which
handler to use based on the flags. This is not necessary in the new API 
call, and so it uses the "name" based index.

Thanks. I've removed them.

rte_mempool_create is not really a subset of rte_mempool_create_ext, so 
doing this would not be possible. I did have a look at this before 
pusing the patch, but the code was so different in each case I decided 
to leave them as is. Maybe break out the section that sets up the 
mempool structure in to a separate functinon?
