When building with DPDK, and using xmalloc() to get a new packet,
field mbuf of the packet will not be initialized, but it's very important
for
DPDK port when copying the data to DPDK mbuf, because if ol_flags
and other info are random values, DPDK driver may hang.

In addition to the comment Ben had for this patch, can you also investigate:
1) Which fields need initializing for multi-seg to work
and potentially only initialize those, if there are only a few, for example,
rather than memset the whole struct.
