[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/6] lib/eal: add a common wrapper for restricted pointers

[Joyce Kong]

The 'restrict' keyword is recognized in C99, while type qulifier
'__restrict' compiles ok in C with all language levels. This patch
is to add a wrapper defining '__rte_restrict' with 'restrict' and
'__restrict' to be supported by all compilers.
