That's difficult to judge.
The use case is limited and the API has some severe limitations.
The benefit is measured with l3fwd, which is not exactly a real app.
Do we want an API which improves performance in limited scenarios
at the cost of breaking some general design assumptions?

Can we achieve the same level of performance with a mempool trick?
