This patch set aims to provide a shorter simpler alternative the public API functions for using rings as ethdevs provided by the librte_pmd_ring library. This alternative just provides simple RX and TX burst functions and a conversion API, without any of the complexities present in the pmd_ring version. This replacement should allow the public APIs in the pmd_ring library to be deprecated in the future.
