my 2cent:
General comment on implementation approach:
IMO, we should avoid PMD details in common lib area.
example: file channel_commons.h has ifdef clutter referencing
i40e pmds all over.

Perhaps we should introduce opaque handle example void * or introduce pmd
specific callback/handle which points to PMD specific metadata in power library.

Example:
struct channel_packet {
  void *pmd_specific_metadata;
}

Or someway via callback (I'm not sure at the moment)
so that we could hide PMD details in common area.

Thanks.
