[PATCH v5 0/4] add pointer compression API

Great, thanks.
Will try to have a look in next few days. 
With these functions in place, can we produce a unit-test that
will use together these new mempool functions and compress API? 
Something like: 
- allocate mempool 
- deduce base_pointer for it
- main_loop_start:
    producer(s):  mempool_get(); <fill mbuf with some values>; ring_enqueue();  
    consumer(s): ring_dequeue(); <read_and_check_mbuf_data>; mempool_put();
- main_loop_end
- free mempool

Yep, agree, it sounds like a subject for a separate patch series.
