Can we rename pkt with m. Just to make it consistent with the set API.

Pkt metadata should be set by user i.e. the application, and the driver 
need not be aware of the format and the values of the metadata.
So setting the metadata in the driver and getting it back from the 
driver does not look a good idea.

Is it possible, that the application define the metadata on its own and 
set it in the library itself without the call to the driver ops.
