Hi Adrien,

I'm trying to dig into this a bit more now, and try out using a static inline
function, but I'm having trouble getting DPDK to compile with the mlx drivers
turned on in the config. I'm trying to follow the instructions here:
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/mlx4.html, but it's not clearly called out what
requirements are for compilation vs requirements for running the PMD.

I'm running Fedora 23, and installed the libibverbs-devel package, but when I
compile I get the following error:

== Build drivers/net/mlx4
  CC mlx4.o
  /home/bruce/ethdev-cleanup/drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c: In function ‘txq_cleanup’:
  /home/bruce/ethdev-cleanup/drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c:886:37: error: storage size of ‘params’ isn’t known
    struct ibv_exp_release_intf_params params;
                                       ^
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.

Any suggestions on the fix for this?

Thanks,
/Bruce
