> Add function for freeing a bulk of mbufs.
>
> v5:
> * Rename variables from "free" to "pending" for improved readability.
> * Add prefix __ to rte_pktmbuf_free_seg_via_array().
> * Add array size parameter to __rte_pktmbuf_free_seg_via_array().
> The compiler will optimize the parameter away anyway.
> * Add description to __rte_pktmbuf_free_seg_via_array().
> * Minor description updates.
> v4:
> * Mark as experimental by adding __rte_experimental.
> * Add function to experimental section of map file.
> * Fix source code formatting regarding pointer to pointer.
> * Squash multiple modifications into one.
> v3:
> * Bugfix: Handle pakets with multiple segments.
> * Add inline helper function, mainly for readability.
> * Fix source code formatting regarding indentation.
> v2:
> * Function is not inline.
> * Optimize to free multible mbufs belonging to the same mempool in
> bulk. Inspired by ixgbe_tx_free_bufs(), but allowing NULL pointers
> in the array, just like rte_pktmbuf_free() can take a NULL pointer.
> * Use unsigned int instead of unsigned. Passes checkpatch, but
> mismatches the original coding style of the modified files.
> * Fix a typo in the description headline: mempools is plural.
