Now that dpdk supports more than one mempool drivers and
each mempool driver works best for specific PMD, example:
- sw ring based mempool for Intel PMD drivers.
- dpaa2 HW mempool manager for dpaa2 PMD driver.
- fpa HW mempool manager for Octeontx PMD driver.
Application would like to know the best mempool handle
for any port.
Introducing rte_eth_dev_pool_ops_supported() API,
which allows PMD driver to advertise
his supported pool capability to the application.
Supported pools are categorized in below priority:-
- Best mempool handle for this port (Highest priority '0')
- Port supports this mempool handle (Priority '1')
