> 
> From: Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>
> 
> The initial role of rte_ctrlmbuf is to carry generic messages (data
> pointer + data length) but it's not used by the DPDK or it applications.
> Keeping it implies:
>   - loosing 1 byte in the rte_mbuf structure
>   - having some dead code rte_mbuf.[ch]
> 
> This patch removes this feature. Thanks to it, it is now possible to
> simplify the rte_mbuf structure by merging the rte_pktmbuf structure
> in it. This is done in next commit.
> 
> Signed-off-by: Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>
> 
> * Updated patch to HEAD.
> * Modified patch to retain the old function names for ctrl mbufs as
>   macros. This helps with app compatibility, and allows the concept
>   of a control mbuf to be reintroduced via a single-bit flag in
>   a future change.
> * Updated the packet framework ip_pipeline example application to
>   work following this change.
> 
> Changes in v2:
> * Fixed whitespace errors introduced by this patch flagged by checkpatch
> 
> Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>
