[PATCH v7 0/4] remove use of RTE_MARKER fields in libraries

[Tyler Retzlaff]

As per techboard meeting 2024/03/20 adopt hybrid proposal of adapting
descriptor fields and removing cachline fields.

RTE_MARKER typedefs are a GCC extension unsupported by MSVC. Remove
RTE_MARKER fields.

For cacheline{0,1} fields remove fields entirely and use inline
functions to prefetch.

Provide new rearm_data and rx_descriptor_fields1 fields in anonymous
unions as single element arrays of with types matching the original
markers to maintain API compatibility.

Tyler Retzlaff (4):
  net/i40e: use inline prefetch function
  mbuf: remove rte marker fields
  security: remove rte marker fields
  cryptodev: remove rte marker fields
