Just a nit...
As I understand 'md' here follows previous function which is
rte_mbuf_to_baddr() and works with direct mbuf - that's why
parameter is named 'md' (mbuf direct). The most of functions
in the header use just 'm' for any mbuf.

Also a nit...
I'd use sizeof(*md) (or sizeof(*m) in fact as described above) here.
At least previous functions do it in such way.
