Hi Sergey,

Thank you for the patch. I aware you sent this patch to separate mbuf
changes, but kni v3 patch should reflect this update.

Would you mind doing a v4, as patchset, which consists of two pathes:
1- This patch
2- kni v3 patch without mbuf changes.

There are a few copies of patch around, I am marking all as "Changes
Requested" in patchwork, fyi.

Thanks,
ferruh
