Hi Thomas

I changed commit message to this:

Changed MAC address type from uint8_t[6] to struct ether_addr and IP 
address type from uint8_t[4] to uint32_t to make it consistent with other
DPDK code using MAC and IP addresses. It allows us to use is_same_ether_addr
and ether_addr_copy functions on MAC addresses in ARP header.  Also
removed union from arp_hdr struct to make calls to arp_data items
shorter. Updated test-pmd to match new arp_hdr version.

Is that sufficient?

Best regards,
Maciek
