Hi,

Thanks for this. Some comments below.

This change, more or less, reverts the change to this description added in 
commit 3111eae26e2296ec049e6dfc3c0c522d7b9e1c62.

I don't know if "Allocate mbuf from mempool, setup the DMA physical address"
is correct for all pmds so maybe that could be omitted. However, it is 
probably worth keeping the part about the rx_deferred_start flag.

+1 to this and the other changes.
