Hi,

I have a requirement where one of my non-EAL app threads needs to
handoff some packets to an EAL task. I was thinking of using
rte_ring_mp_enqueue/dequeue for that purpose. I looked at the code for
the rte_ring library and it doesnt look like it has any "EAL"
dependencies, but I wanted to double confirm that there are no issues
in using it that way. Dint find much yes/no info about that on the
mailers/docs. Pls let me know your thoughts.

Rgds,
Gopa.
