This is very old patch still sitting in patchwork, re-visiting it mainly to be
able to clean the patchwork.

This is a syntax change request and although I have my personal preferences I
would be OK with whatever decided.

Currently there is already a decided syntax, changing it after this point will
cause either mixed usage or a big syntax cleanup patch. I think both are not good.

I am for continue whatever documented in current DPDK coding style doc, hence
NAK from my side.

Thanks,
ferruh
