I think the current mempool handlers should be moved first in a

Yes it should have been done earlier.

Are you seeing any benefit by making it a separate patch series?

A separate patchset for moving mempool handlers will be easy to review
and accept.
If integrated in this series, it is kind of hidden and prevent the
visibility and review it deserves.
By the way the mempool move should be directly committed in the main
repository, while this series targets next-net.

hw mempool has dependency on mc-bus. So, we will break it into *5* series,

1. mc-bus - which can go on main repo - Rebased over main repo
2. dpaa2-pool - it can also go on main rep (depends on mc-bus) - Rebased 
over 'main repo + 1'.
3. dpaa2-pmd - this depends on mc-bus and dpaa2-pool
       A. mc-bus -another series rebased over net-next
       B. dpaa2-pool - another series rebased over 'net-next + A'
       C. the pmd itself rebased over 'net-next + A + B'

Are you sure, you will like us to do the above and flood the mailing 
list :)

I think, this will make the review difficult.

Bruce, Ferruh, Olivier - does the above help you? If so, we can do it.

My preference is to keep it as it is. It can be applied on 'net-next' or 
'main' as a whole. But I am open for suggestions.

it will be difficult and tricky for us. The dpaa2_pool has a dependency
on mc bus patches. dpaa2_pmd has dependency on dpaa2_pool and mc buses.

You will just have to rebase this series on top of the new one.
