I think, the very next feature will be generating packets for
incrementing IP addresses or so. In this case, one packet-based
template will not work.
May we worth consider that use case into API framework first and add support
later for implementation as it may change the complete land space of API to have
better performance. Options like struct rte_gen logical object can have
N templates instead of one is an option on the table. :-)
