Looking at\nit a bit more closely it seems like the the thing to do is actually just\nconsistently use rte_mbuf_refcnt_set, since thats what the rte_mbuf header\ndocumentation says to do, and protects you if the internal structure changes, as\nwell as prevents you from having to spread ifdef RTE_MBUF_REFCNT all over the\nplace.\n\nThis patch does a bit more than that too.  With a little creative typedef-ing we\ndon't need the anonymous union at all, and lets us just use a single refcnt\nvariable, and I think eliminate that odd refcnt_reserved member of the union,\nthat, as far as I can see, does nothing.\n\nThoughts?",
