Yes, this is something I had already fixed locally.

The difference between atomic qualifier and atomic specifier and the
need for exposing those two notions are not obvious to me.

One clue I have is with one use later in the series:
+rte_mcslock_lock(RTE_ATOMIC(rte_mcslock_t *) *msl, rte_mcslock_t *me)
...
+    prev = rte_atomic_exchange_explicit(msl, me, rte_memory_order_acq_rel);

So at least RTE_ATOMIC() seems necessary.

Do you mean you want no check at all in a public facing header?

Or is it that we have RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON and we should keep using it
instead of static_assert?

I remember some problems with RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON where the compiler
would silently drop the whole expression and reported no problem as it
could not evaluate the expression.
At least, with static_assert (iirc, it is new to C11) the compiler
complains with a clear "error: expression in static assertion is not
constant".
We could fix RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON, but I guess the fix would be equivalent
to map it to static_assert(!condition).
Using language standard constructs seems a better choice.
