 Unlike regular NICs, in the DPAA2 architecture there is no single hardware block
 representing network interfaces; instead, several separate hardware resources
 concur to provide the networking functionality:
-        - network interfaces
-        - queues, channels
-        - buffer pools
-        - MAC/PHY

 Complex (MC) portals. MC abstracts most of these resources as DPAA2 objects

 Each Linux net device is built on top of a Datapath Network Interface (DPNI)
 object and uses Buffer Pools (DPBPs), I/O Portals (DPIOs) and Concentrators
 (DPCONs).
