it's actually got a use in one location.

rte_mbuf.h:

static inline void
rte_mbuf_prefetch_part1(struct rte_mbuf *m)
{
        rte_prefetch0(&m->cacheline0);
}

do you mean api change? just asking to make sure i understand what i'm
doing.

as i understand how this extension (marker) works removing the
cacheline0 marker would not alter the layout of the struct. that is the
sizeof the struct, sizeof any field nor the offset of any field changes
would change by the marker removal.
