[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/4] mempool: detect physical contiguous object in pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW mempool blocks may need physical contiguous obj in a pool.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_POOL_CONTIG flag for such use-case.  The flag
useful to detect whether all buffer fits within a hugepage or not. If
not then return -ENOSPC. This way, we make sure that all object within a
pool is contiguous.
