[Thomas Monjalon]

Dmitry, Anatoly,
any new comment on this v5?

> Added an internal helper to get OS-specific EAL mapping base address
> 
> This helper can be used by the drivers to program offload / accelerator
> devices, where the base address can be used as a reference address by
> the accelerator to access the host memory
> 
> An address can also be represented as an offset relative to the base
> address using smaller data types
