Clustered allocation is required to simplify packaging objects into

To be honnest, that was my fear when introducing
MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS and MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG to see more
and more specific flags in generic code.
I feel that the hidden meaning of these flags is more "if driver == foo",
which shows that something is wrong is the current design.
We have to think about another way to do. Let me try to propose
something (to be deepen).
The standard way to create a mempool is:
mp = create_empty(...)
set_ops_by_name(mp, "my-driver") // optional
populate_default(mp) // or populate_*()
obj_iter(mp, callback, arg) // optional, to init objects
// and optional local func to init mempool priv
First, we can consider deprecating some APIs like:
- rte_mempool_xmem_create()
- rte_mempool_xmem_size()
- rte_mempool_xmem_usage()
- rte_mempool_populate_iova_tab()
These functions were introduced for xen, which was recently
removed. They are complex to use, and are not used anywhere else in
DPDK.
Then, instead of having flags (quite hard to understand without knowing
the underlying driver), we can let the mempool drivers do the
populate_default() operation. For that we can add a populate_default
field in mempool ops. Same for populate_virt(), populate_anon(), and
populate_phys() which can return -ENOTSUP if this is not
implemented/implementable on a specific driver, or if flags
(NO_CACHE_ALIGN, NO_SPREAD, ...) are not supported. If the function
pointer is NULL, use the generic function.
Thanks to this, the generic code would remain understandable and won't
have to care about how memory should be allocated for a specific driver.
Thoughts?
