This feature suffers from a common bad design pattern.
You can't just start using reserved fields unless the previous versions
enforced that the field was a particular value (usually zero).
There is no guarantee that application will initialize these reserved
fields and now using them risks breaking the API/ABI. It looks like
rte_eth_rx_queue_check_split(const struct rte_eth_rxseg_split *rx_seg,
Would have had to check in previous release.
This probably has to wait until 22.11 next API release.
