> Due to commit c0371da6 in kernel 3.19, which removed msg_iov
> and msg_iovlen from struct msghdr, DPDK would not build.
> Also, functions memcpy_toiovecend and memcpy_fromiovecend
> were removed in commits ba7438ae and 57dd8a07, being substituted by
> copy_from_iter and copy_to_iter.
> 
> This patch makes use of struct iov_iter, which has references
> to msg_iov and msg_iovln, and makes use of copy_from_iter
> and copy_to_iter.
