This code will not catch the case on which mlx4_glue on PMD is smaller
than the one on the glue lib. Although this would be safe, as the PMD
won't place calls for functions that it is not aware of, I guess we
don't want to allow such situation anyhow.
One way to handle this is to add a size field and let the PMD check if
the size is the same. As this code is walking through it as an array
of pointers, an union around it to keep the alignment may be welcomed.
Also, this code would do read beyond buffer in the opposite case, when
mlx4_glue for the PMD is larger than the one on the glue lib.
