lwIP demos.
- NEW: lwIP related code is not centralized into a single place, no need to
duplicate the code in each application or demo.
+- CHANGE: Kernel memory pools now do not check the alignment of the inserted
+ objects, it is responsibility of the application to insert properly
+ aligned objects.
- CHANGE: The PORT_INT_REQUIRED_STACK parameter for the Cortex-Mx ports has
been increased to 32 from 16 because the stack frame sizes are increased
when compiling with optimizations disabled, which is common during
