I've updated the commit log to be more descriptive (and included the
associated warning).

I'm currently working on some code that makes use of DPDK, which is built
with '-Wall,-Werror' enabled.  When using the clang toolchain the build
fails as a result of this macro that this patch updates.  The workaround
from my application is to wrap all of the DPDK header includes in pragma to
disable the warnings (see below).  This has the unfortunate side effect of
disabling this warning across all of the included DPDK headers, which is
not ideal.  Hence the reason to submit the patch which disables the warning
just in the location where it occurs.

#if defined(__clang__)
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wgcc-compat"
#endif
#include <rte_ethdev.h>
#if defined(__clang__)
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop "-Wgcc-compat"
#endif
