struct rte_mbuf has pool member. So, I don't understand why mp
argument is required. I guess there is a reason, but it should be
explained in comments. I see motivation in rte_mbuf_to_baddr()
description, but rte_mbuf_buf_add() does not explain it.

Also right now the function name looks like simple get accessor for
buf_addr and I'd expect to seem one line implementation may be
with extra debug checks: return mb->buf_addr.

May be rte_mbuf_direct_buf_addr() ?
If so, similar below rte_mbuf_direct_data_addr_default().
