This should be clarified: the memory area containing all the
objects must be physically contiguous, right?

We should not reference mbuf, we are in mempool code, dealing with
any kind of object.

Also, len is not necessarily the size of a hugepage, but the size of the
physical area passed to te_mempool_populate_phys().

We must highlight here that it's a capability flag.
Following my other comments on the first patch, this define should be
renamed in something else. I suggest:

#define RTE_MEMPOOL_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG 0x0001

The description should be longer and more accurate.

I'm also a bit puzzled because this is more a limitation than a
capability.
