As promised, the reworked V2 patches are available here;
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/cover/20220121103122.2926856-1-ronan.randles@intel.com/

They are marked as "not applicable" in patchwork, so will not be candidates
for merge, but are available for interested folks to work with.

I'd like to thank Ronan for his work on the Gen library during his internship,
it is useful tool for my testing usages, and I expect to continue using it in future!

Thanks community for reviews and suggestions on improving post-v1.

Regards, -Harry
