You should read the implementations of Agent::allocpkt() and
Agent::initpkt() in agent.cc, then you'll see they need member variables
of an Agent object hence can't be made a static method.

If you want to create a packet without an agent, change the implementation
of allocpkt() in your own class. If you are not deriving your class from
Agent you have to copy/adapt allocpkt there.
