mbuf: use private data instead of dynfield #35

The dynfield area is not big enough to fit data for IPv6. Allocate a private and dedicated mbuf area of one cache line (64 bytes) to store up at least two IPv6 addresses and a few pointers.

Nice: this allows the usage of Niantic (ixgbe) nics with grout.
