Interesting, I played with '__may_alias__' attribute a bit more,
and yes, as you said, it seems to wok properly only with typedefs.
If so, then we probably can add a new typedefs (in rte_common.h or so),
and use it in rte_memcpy and probably few other places, where we
think it will be necessary.

Agree, would like to see more input too.
CC-ing to other guys, who seemed to be interested in that discussion before.
Thanks
