No driver specific code in generic application. Please fix the driver
instead.

Hi Jerin,
would it be possible to add a command option such as '--enable-scatter' 
like testpmd does?
Thanks,

This is a bad, bad precedent.
Either fix MLX driver or enable it for all PMD's.

Forcing applications to do workarounds indicates a poor design abstraction.

What about checking whether PMD supports scattering offload and enable these one?
