I cannot really speak for OFP but OFP is not even using the compression API.
I do not really have an opinion one way or the other. Moving digest to
odp_comp_packet_result_t does sound a little more flexible and maybe the
overhead is not too bad with --disable-abi-compat.

I'd like to hear from Janne as to what OFP would prefer. I'll also add this to
the discussion agenda for tomorrow's public call. Thanks.

I can sketch a draft PR, however I'd like to hear an opinion first.
Basically my suggestion is to move digest from packet data to
odp_comp_packet_result_t. This will result in extra API call being
necessary to access digest data.
