If it stays I want it tested or it will rot like odp_shm has in this very 
directory. To test it that probably means that helpers are independently tested 
from the API so we need to find the correct location for the test - maybe 
helpers need to be an independent library to start with ?

You could create tests for helpers under “helper/test”.

Helpers are independent from ODP API (helpers may use ODP API, but ODP API must 
not use helpers), but ODP tests suite and examples use those. The purpose of 
helpers is to enable easy test applications creation and maintenance (e.g. 
reuse the Ethernet header definition over all test apps). Since test apps are 
under ODP repo, so should be helpers. Real applications may or may not use 
helpers, but those should not expect helpers to be HW accelerated or otherwise 
optimized.
