LGTM, but I've found more places where the pattern is duplicate
and testpmd frightens me:
  - app/test-pmd/config.c ring_dma_zone_lookup() which is used
    to look at descriptors (looks like Intel specific since has
    RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_16BYTE_RX_DESC conditional code)
  - drivers/net/bnx2x/bnx2x_rxtx.c
  - drivers/net/cxgbe/sge.c (few times)

I've not dig why bnx2x and cxgbe do not use rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve().
