[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/af_xdp: fix 32-bit build for older kernels

'uint64_t' is used to hold pointers in multiple locations in the
copy-mode code (used for kernels before 5.4). For a 32-bit build
this assumption is wrong and results in build errors. This commit
replaces such instances of 'uint64_t' with 'uintptr_t'.
While the copy-mode code will now compile for 32-bit, the PMD is
not expected to work and will fail at initialisation due to some
limitations in the kernel that were subsequently removed in v5.4.
Add a note to the docs to flag this limitation.

Fixes: d8a210774e1d ("net/af_xdp: support unaligned umem chunks")

* For PMD zero copy, it requires kernel version later than v5.4-rc1;
* For shared_umem, it requires kernel version v5.10 or later and libbpf version
v0.2.0 or later.
+* For 32-bit OS, a kernel with version 5.4 or later is required.
