+* **Added bucket mempool driver.**
+
+  Added bucket mempool driver which provide a way to allocate contiguous
+  block of objects.
+  Number of objects in the block depends on how many objects fit in
+  RTE_DRIVER_MEMPOOL_BUCKET_SIZE_KB memory chunk which is build time option.
+  The number may be obtained using rte_mempool_ops_get_info() API.
+  Contiguous blocks may be allocated using rte_mempool_get_contig_blocks() API.
