After more thoughts, it's OK to break API for mbuf markers.
There are 2 kind of markers in mbuf:
1/ cacheline markers used only in rte_mbuf_prefetch_part functions
2/ rearm_data and rx_descriptor_fields1 which are offsets used by drivers
The cacheline markers can be removed and offset calculated in prefetch functions.
The second type of markers are intended to be used by drivers only,
so there is not API compatibility concern.
Instead of complicated unions, I propose to replace them with inline functions
which return the offset in the same type as the markers.
As RTE_MARKER macros rely on a non-standard C feature,
I propose to mark them as non-recommended,
and stop using them in DPDK code.
We can keep them for compatibility and drop them when compiling with MSVC.
Some markers are used in crypto structures for cachelines,
we can probably drop them easily, they look unused.
The last thing to handle is cacheline padding.
It can be done on the first field of the next cacheline,
instead of using a zero-sized marker for padding.
Problem solved? Let's get rid of these markers?
