ok. Will take care in v2.

imo: -ENOENT tell that driver has no new entry for capability flag(mp->flag).
But no strong opinion for -ENOTSUP.

0) Treating this capability flag different vs existing RTE_MEMPOLL_F would
result to adding new flag entry in struct rte_mempool { .drv_flag} for example.
1) That new flag entry will break ABI.
2) In-fact application can benefit this capability flag by explicitly setting
in pool create api (e.g: rte_mempool_create_empty (, , , , , _F_POOL_CONGIG | F_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED)).

Those flag use-case not limited till driver scope, application too can benefit.

3) Also provided that we have space in RTE_MEMPOOL_F_XX area, so adding couple of
more bit won't impact design or effect pool creation sequence.

4) By calling _ops_get_capability() at _populate_default() area would address issues pointed by
you at patch [3/4]. Will explain details on ' how' in respective patch [3/4].

5) Above all, Intent is to make sure that common layer managing capability flag 
on behalf of driver or application.

confused? mp->flag is int not unsigned. and We're returning
-ENOENT/-ENOTSUP at error and positive value in-case driver supports capability.
