  if the user wants to have rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() use an external mempool
handler, they simply define MEMPOOL_HANDLER_NAME to be the name of the
mempool handler they wish to use. May move this to config

I agree it could move to configuration.

Is it possible to always use rte_mempool_create_ext(), and set
the default handler name to 'ring_mp_mc'?

After checking in rte_mempool_create(), I found the behavior
is different when using xen. Do you know if xen still works with
your patches?

Regards,
Olivier
