I was thinking about something like this:

#define RTE_MBUF_HAS_EXTBUF(mb) ((mb)->ol_flags & EXT_ATTACHED_MBUF)
#define RTE_MBUF_CLONED(mb)     ((mb)->ol_flags & IND_ATTACHED_MBUF)

#define RTE_MBUF_DIRECT(mb)     (!RTE_MBUF_HAS_EXTBUF(mb) && !RTE_MBUF_CLONED(mb))
#define RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT(mb)   (!RTE_MBUF_DIRECT(mb))
