Instead of this, what about:

/*
 * Return values:
 *   - -ENOTSUP: error, pool type is not supported
 *   - on success, return the priority of the mempool (0 = highest)
 */
int
rte_eth_dev_pool_ops_supported(uint8_t port_id, const char *pool)

By default, always return 0 (i.e. all pools are supported).

With this API, we can announce several supported pools (not only
one preferred), and order them by preference.

I also wonder if we should use a ops_index instead of a pool name
for the second argument.

[out] ??
I don't get why it is allocated by the driver
