[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 3/4] mempool: allow rte_pktmbuf_pool_create switch between memool handlers

[David Hunt]

If the user wants to have rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() use an external mempool
handler, they define RTE_MEMPOOL_HANDLER_NAME to be the name of the
mempool handler they wish to use, and change RTE_MEMPOOL_HANDLER_EXT to 'y'
