I will imagine you did not really write this.

All other configs are related to EAL features.

You probably missed that mbuf is not part of EAL.
I'm not talking about parsers, just where to save a variable.
You store mbuf info in EAL, and later, call
rte_eal_mbuf_default_mempool_ops() from mbuf lib.
It would be saner to directly save it in mbuf lib.
But Olivier agreed to save mbuf config in EAL.
I won't discuss it anymore if you don't want to change.
