[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 14/40] net/virtio: pack virtio HW struct

[Maxime Coquelin]

This patch improves the virtio_hw struct packing,
going from 88 down to 80 bytes with a 6 bytes hole in
the end of the first cacheline. Fields only used in the
slow path are placed in the end, so that hot path only
uses the first cacheline.
