We just completed our upgrade from DPDK 21.11.2 to 23.11.1. Our testing found a
defect with the current 23.11 code. This can/may impact other releases.

Please review the "dst_off" changes below, which restore jumbo (frames larger
than 2KB) support relative to multiple memif buffer handling. You will also
note we have disabled the new "bulk" functionality as we have not had time to
review it. For now, we have disabled it in preference to using the original
"else" code with these fixes. Similar fixes/logic should be confirmed present
as well in VPP's libmemif solution.

We recommend a new UT be added, which tests randomly sized frames consisting of
1, 2 & 3 memif buffers to validate jumbo frame support.
