The advantage of pool pbufs is that they can be much faster to allocate, very important if you are allocating them in a driver. I really feel that they should not disappear.

Could I get some feedback on the new pbuf implementation in the
"lukem-pbuf" CVS branch? It should be a drop-in replacement for the
original implementation at the moment.

The only unimplemented feature right now is that POOL pbufs are just an
alias for RAM pbufs, and REF pbufs are just an alias for ROM pbufs. I
don't think this will cause anything to break, but am happy to hear
otherwise.

Things that really are REF pbufs can now be given their own type without
modifying lwIP core code, which is the primary goal of these changes - to
handle external packet allocation and deallocation correctly.

I'd like to get this branch merged soon so that I can start with
a new pcb lookup implementation. To that end, please let me know of
any changes that would be needed before a merge.
