So far, we did not pay attention to direct access to variables but they
are part of the API/ABI too and should be clearly identified.

Introduce a __rte_experimental_var tag and mark existing variables.

Fixes: a4bcd61de82d ("buildtools: add script to check experimental API exports")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org

Quick patch to try to catch experimental variables.
Not sure if we could use a single section, so please advise if there is
better to do about this.

 To mark an API as experimental, the symbols which are desired to be exported
 must be placed in an EXPERIMENTAL version block in the corresponding libraries'
 version map script.
-Secondly, the corresponding prototypes of those exported functions (in the
-development header files), must be marked with the ``__rte_experimental`` tag
-(see ``rte_compat.h``).
+Secondly, the corresponding prototypes of those exported functions (resp.
+variables) must be marked with the ``__rte_experimental`` (resp.
+``__rte_experimental_var``) tag in the development header files (see
+``rte_compat.h``).
 The DPDK build makefiles perform a check to ensure that the map file and the
 C code reflect the same list of symbols.
 This check can be circumvented by defining ``ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API``
