Not sure it will still work after that.

rte_net_crc_neon_init, and used as a const parameter in
crc32_eth_calc_pmull().
Changing them to static will create an instance of these variables for
each included file, which is not what we want.
I think that the proper way to solve it would be to add the definition
in a new .c file, and only have a declaration in the .h.
An even better way would be to make variable const and initialize it
with its content. It could even enhance performance. Something like:
net_crc_neon.h:
static const struct crc_pmull_ctx crc32_eth_pmull = {
<values...>
} __rte_aligned(16);
static const struct crc_pmull_ctx crc16_ccitt_pmull = {
<values...>
} __rte_aligned(16);
