Yes, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today.

From high level, I'm still a little puzzled by the amount of references
to mbuf in a mempool handler code, which should theorically handle any
kind of objects.

Is it planned to support other kind of objects?
Does this driver passes the mempool autotest?
Can the user be aware of these limitations?


Thanks,
Olivier
