About the form of the patch, I have 2 comments:
1) A doc explaining the design, the dependencies and how it can be used would
be a great help. Could you write it in rst format?
2) checkpatch.pl returns these errors:
ERROR:SPACING: space required before the open parenthesis '('
#468: FILE: lib/librte_pmd_packet/rte_eth_packet.c:250:

Thanks
