hw mempool has dependency on mc-bus. So, we will break it into *5* series,

1. mc-bus - which can go on main repo - Rebased over main repo
2. dpaa2-pool - it can also go on main rep (depends on mc-bus) - Rebased 
over 'main repo + 1'.
3. dpaa2-pmd - this depends on mc-bus and dpaa2-pool
       A. mc-bus -another series rebased over net-next
       B. dpaa2-pool - another series rebased over 'net-next + A'
       C. the pmd itself rebased over 'net-next + A + B'

Are you sure, you will like us to do the above and flood the mailing 
list :)

I think, this will make the review difficult.

Bruce, Ferruh, Olivier - does the above help you? If so, we can do it.

My preference is to keep it as it is. It can be applied on 'net-next' or 
'main' as a whole. But I am open for suggestions.
