Right now inclusion of rte_mbuf.h header can cause inclusion of some arch/os specific headers. That prevents it to be included directly by some non-DPDK (but related) entities: KNI, BPF programs, etc. To overcome that problem usually a separate definitions of rte_mbuf structure is created within these entities. That aproach has a lot of drawbacks: code duplication, error prone, etc. This series moves rte_mbuf structure definition (and some related macros) into a separate file that can be included by both rte_mbuf.h and other non-DPDK entities.
Note that these moves shouldn't introduce any change for current DPDK code.
