I have just tried to implement your suggestions.  I need one clarification.

Eal based internal config is being used to store the command line 
mempool_ops_name.

If we want it to be a mbuf based API (instead of eal_mbuf), we need to 
export internal_config via map file for shared build.
Are you fine with that?

If not, we have to live with eal_mbuf APIs only.
