I think we should only have the "set" API in mbuf lib.
What do you think about what I suggested in
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2018-January/087419.html ?
"""
The proper way is maybe to keep the parsing in eal, and at librte_mbuf
initialization, query the eal library to get the user pool if any.
After that, all will be managed inside librte_mbuf. So the eal lib will
only do the argument parsing.
"""
In that case, this patch could be dropped. Please refer to my comment
in patch 3 to see what other modifications would be needed.
