Cache the most recent VA -> PA mapping found so that we can skip
most of the system calls. With 4K pages this reduces pool create
time by about 90%.

I believe there should be a generic solution for this in mempool
if it is not there already.
Here, you are adding cache in mempool priv
which does not seem to be a correct place.
This optimization would be needed across all types of mempools.
Adding more people for comments.

This optimization is for rte_mem_virt2iova(_op_data) being slow.

If I'm not mistaken, _op_data is an object in a mempool, where the mempool object headers have already been initialized.

In this case, it could simply be optimized as this:
-       op->phys_addr = rte_mem_virt2iova(_op_data);
+       op->phys_addr = rte_mempool_virt2iova(_op_data);
