On a related note, latest GCC supports annotating the address space
of variables. Kernel uses it for RCU.

It would be good if DPDK could do this for:
	- per lcore data
	- data in huge pages
	- data protected by rcu

With these annotations various checkers and compilers can warn about
places where data is passed (with cast to override).
