This is an RFC patch to get feedback on this change proposal before I do any further investigation work into it, looking at all the example apps - as there are a lot of them. :-) The idea is to remove all the code in the sample applications for buffering packets on TX by moving the buffering functionality into the ethdev API, so we can just do buffered TX of packets, one packet at a time. For more details, see description in patch 1...
