[dpdk-dev] multi-segment mbuf

Sorry my bad. The mbuf size has been accidentally changed to 3000.

After fixing this by setting mbuf size to 2048, multi-segment mbuf still
doesn't work. I was trying to send 2500-byte packets to the target system
and was expecting to see two-segment mbuf chain), but got errors on it.

Is enic supporting multi-segment mbuf? The dpdk version is 2.0.0. I have
enabled jumbo-frame and enable_scatter for the port.
