customize objects population and allocate contiguous
block of objects if underlying driver supports it.
* mbuf: The control mbuf API will be removed in v18.05. The impacted
functions and macros are:
- ``rte_ctrlmbuf_init()``
- ``rte_ctrlmbuf_alloc()``
- ``rte_ctrlmbuf_free()``
- ``rte_ctrlmbuf_data()``
- ``rte_ctrlmbuf_len()``
- ``rte_is_ctrlmbuf()``
- ``CTRL_MBUF_FLAG``
The packet mbuf API should be used as a replacement.
* ethdev: a new Tx and Rx offload API was introduced on 17.11.
In the new API, offloads are divided into per-port and per-queue offloads.
Offloads are disabled by default and enabled per application request.
