> What we can do:
>
> 1. Introduce `rte_queue.h` (name can be better) that is env-specific:
>
>     1.1. For Linux and FreeBSD it just includes <sys/queue.h>
>          and renames a few macros that are used in headers to RTE_xxx.
>     1.2. For Windows it defines the same RTE_xxx macros in a way
>          compatible with the <sys/queue.h> version used to build DPDK.
>
> 2. Add #include <sys/queue.h> in <rte_os_shim.h>:
>     Linux and FreeBSD will include a system header,
>     Windows will use the bundled one.
>
> This way application are not exposed to non-RTE symbols,
> at the same time RTE_xxx are binary-compatible with what DPDK
> implementation expects (and outside of Windows there is no change in fact).
