I think the zero case(x=0) result should be documented.

What do you think about " rte_align32prevpow2"?

> +{

	In case of  x is power of 2 number(already aligned), looks like the result here is x and the final result is (x >> 1)?
	Is it as you expect?

Why can't the implementation just be:
return  rte_align32pow2(x) >> 1;

If the above is correct, Are you sure we need this API?

Same comments for 64b API.

If it is a new API, I think it should be added to the map file and to be tagged as experimental. No?
