Get an error compiling this up (using clang on FreeBSD).

  CC rte_lpm.o
  In file included from /usr/home/bruce/dpdk.org/lib/librte_lpm/rte_lpm.c:57:
  /usr/home/bruce/dpdk.org/lib/librte_lpm/rte_lpm.h:99:5: fatal error: 'RTE_BYTE_ORDER' is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
#if RTE_BYTE_ORDER == RTE_LITTLE_ENDIAN
      ^
      1 error generated.

Adding "#include <rte_byteorder.h>" should fix the issue.

Existing unit tests on IA (little endian) pass fine there-after, but I think for
this patch it would be good to have an ack from someone who can validate on
a big endian system, since this is what this patch is meant to enable.
