[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] Multiple Pktmbuf mempool support

[Hemant Agrawal]

This patch is in addition to the patch series[1] submitted by
Santosh to allow application to set mempool handle. 

The existing pktmbuf pool create api only support the internal use
of "CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_MEMPOOL_OPS", which assumes that the HW
can only support one type of mempool for packet mbuf. 

There are multiple additional requirements.

1. The platform independent image detects the underlying bus,
based on the bus and resource detected, it will dynamically select
the default mempool. This need not to have the application knowlege.
e.g. DPAA2 and DPAA are two different NXP platforms, based on the
underlying platform the default ops for mbuf can be dpaa or dpaa2.  
Application should work seemlessly whether it is running on dpaa or dpaa2. 

2.Platform support more than one type of mempool for pktmbuf,
depend on the availability of resource, the driver can decide one
of the mempool for the current packet mbuf request.

3. In case of where application is providing the mempool, as proposed
in [1], the check preference logic will be bypassed and application
config will take priority.

  mempool: check the support for the given mempool
  mbuf: add support for preferred mempool list
