[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/5] rte_mbuf: add rte_pktmbuf_linearize

[Tomasz Kulasek <tomaszx.kulasek@intel.com>]

This patch adds function rte_pktmbuf_linearize to let crypto PMD coalesce
chained mbuf before crypto operation and extend their capabilities to
support segmented mbufs when device cannot handle them natively.
