[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] Fix for LRU corrupted returns

This is a patch to a problem that I have faced (described in the thread) and this works for me.
1) Since the data_size_shl was getting its value from the key_size, the table data entries were being corrupted when the calculation to shift the number of bits was being made based on the key_size (according to the document the key_size and entry_size are independently configurable) - With this fix, we get the MSB that is set in entry_size (also removes the constraint of this having to be a power of 2 - not entirely sure if this was the reason the constraint was kept though)
2) The document does not say that the entry_size needs to be a power of 2 and this was failing silently when I was trying to bring my application up.

Subject: [dpdk-dev] Strange behaviour with LRU table
1) All the calls to add entries succeeds
2) The key look up works as expected.
3) The value (entry_data) that is returned is incorrect for every other entry - 1st entry data on .f_action_hit is wrong, 2nd entry_data on .f_action_hit is correct and so on.
I have initialized my LRU as follows:
struct rte_pipeline_table_params table_params = {
.ops = &rte_table_hash_lru_dosig_ops,
.arg_create = &rule_tbl_params,
.f_action_hit = rw_pipeline_stage_2_cache_hit,
.f_action_miss = rw_pipeline_stage_2_cache_miss,
.arg_ah = (void *)lcore_params,
.action_data_size = 16,
};
Is there something obvious I am missing - from first look it seems to be a problem with cache lines but I really am not sure.
