This patch is just from my knowledge of DPDK.

I don't what is the good way to evaluate the performance of l3fwd-power.

But I did a test for this after you said.

I found that the throughput of using malloc is better than rte_malloc in 
continuous packet flow case.😮

Can you test this patch on your platform?
