From: Vamsi Attunuru <vattun...@marvell.com>
When KNI operates in IOVA = VA mode, it requires mbuf memory
to be physically contiguous to ensure KNI kernel module could
translate IOVA addresses properly. Patch adds a KNI specific
mempool create routine to populate the KNI packet mbuf pool
with memory objects that are being on a page.
KNI applications need to use this mempool create & free routines
so that mbuf related requirements in IOVA = VA mode are handled
inside those routines based on the enabled mode.
Updated the release notes with these new routine details.

offload flag from the library. The application must set this flag if it is
supported by the platform and application wishes to use it.
+* kni: ``rte_kni_pktmbuf_pool_create`` ``rte_kni_pktmbuf_pool_free`` functions
+ were introduced for KNI applications for creating & freeing packet pool.
+ Since IOVA=VA mode was added in KNI, packet pool's mbuf memory should be
+ physically contiguous for the KNI kernel module to work in IOVA=VA mode,
+ this requirment was taken care in the kni packet pool creation fucntions.
