I was a bit curious about this dependency chain and decided to investigate
a bit. The "weak link" in this chain appears to me to be the link between
the hash library and the net library. Within the hash library, I believe
only the thash functionality depends on net, for definitions of the ipv6
headers and address fields.
If we want to break that dependency (temporarily, since net is pretty much
an essential DPDK lib), the following patch should work.
