[PATCH v3 0/5] mbuf dynamic field expansion

[Thomas Monjalon]

> This is a continuation of the discussions[1] to add mbuf physical address field to dynamic field.
> Previous version was to add PA field to dynamic field area based on the EAL IOVA mode option. It was
> deemed unsafe as some components could still use the PA field without checking IOVA mode and there
> are drivers which need PA to work. One suggestion was to make the IOVA mode check at compile time so
> that drivers which need PA can be disabled during build. This series adds this new meson build
> options. Second patch adds mbuf PA field to dynamic field on such builds. Last two patches enable
> Marvell cnxk PMDs and software PMDs in IOVA as VA build as they work without PA field.

Shijith, in case it was not clear,
we can accept this change only in -rc1 closing today,
and we didn't receive the expected v4 yet.
