[dpdk-dev,v2,04/13] mbuf: introduce a flag to indicate a control mbuf
Commit Message
Since the flags field is now 64-bits, we can allow one bit to be used to
indicate a control i.e. non-packet mbuf. Dedicate the high bit (bit 63)
for this purpose and add in a utility macro to test if a given mbuf has
the bit set or not.
Updated in V2:
* Fix typo in comment in rte_mbuf.h
