DPAA2_MEMPOOL will not work without the DPAA2 mempool hw instance 
detected on FSLMC_BUS.
So, it is required that if you are enabling DPAA2_MEMPOOL, FSLMC_BUS is 
to be enabled.

Currently the config structure do not provide such dependency definitions.

This was done based on the suggestions on the initial patches from 
Ferruh and Jerin.

Yes! you are right, cast is not required and rte_malloc will be better 
than malloc.

Based on some of your previous suggestion, I have some thoughts to 
address it, but it will be longer term.

1. add some kind of capability APIs in mempool
2. Or, indicate to mempool to differentiate between mbuf pool vs 
non-mbuf pool.

I will initiate discussions on these topics.

Thanks for your valued suggestions and reviews. Yes! Once the basic 
stuff in in the 17.05, we will start working on making it more generic.
