RE: [PATCH] doc: announce mbuf fast free configuration requirements

[Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@huawei.com>]

> For TX mbuf fast release offload, the mbuf mempool pointer will be added
> to the ethdev tx queue configuration structure, so the ethdev TX burst
> operation doesn't need to fetch it from the first mbuf of each burst being
> fast free'd to the mempool.
