Hi Pablo,

While I've no strong objection to the change, having the name at the start
is a common paradigm in DPDK. Rather than place these fields at the end,
can you get the same effect by just marking the key_len function
__rte_cache_aligned? It may use a little more memory per table, but given that
the size of the hash table is going to be largely governed by the table data,
I don't see an extra 64 bytes in the structure as being an issue.

Regards,
/Bruce
