The OCTEON TX fpavf mempool initialization similar to other mempool
drivers like ring. However user need to pass --base-virtaddr as
command line input to application example test_mempool.c application.
Example:
.. code-block:: console
./<build_dir>/app/test/dpdk-test -c 0xf --base-virtaddr=0x100000000000 \
--mbuf-pool-ops-name="octeontx_fpavf"
