Since the data structures such as rings are shared in their entirety,
those TAILQ pointers are shared as well. Meaning that, after a
successful rte_ring creation, the tailq_next pointer of the last
ring in the TAILQ will be updated with a pointer to a ring which may
not be present in the address space of another process (i.e. a ring
that may be host-local or guest-local, and not shared over IVSHMEM).
Any successive ring create/lookup on the other side of IVSHMEM will
result in trying to dereference an invalid pointer.
This patchset fixes this problem by creating a default tailq entry
that may be used by any data structure that chooses to use TAILQs.
This default TAILQ entry will consist of a tailq_next/tailq_prev
pointers, and an opaque pointer to arbitrary data. All TAILQ
pointers from data structures themselves will be removed and
replaced by those generic TAILQ entries, thus fixing the problem
of potentially exposing local address space to shared structures.
Technically, only rte_ring structure require modification, because
IVSHMEM is only using memzones (which aren't in TAILQs) and rings,
but for consistency's sake other TAILQ-based data structures were
adapted as well.

The function rte_snprintf serves no useful purpose. It is the
same as snprintf() for all valid inputs. Deprecate it and
replace all uses in current code.
Leave the tests for the deprecated function in place.

This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].

Checkin
a132a9cf2b hash: use intrinsic
changed the rte_hash_crc.h from using the crc32 instruction via inline
assembly to using an intrinsic. The intrinsic should allow for better
compiler performance, but the change did not account for the fact that
the inline assembly being in AT&T syntax used the opposite operand
order of the intrinsic.
This turns out to not matter for correctness, because the CRC32
operation is commutative. However, it could potentially matter for
performance, because the loop is more efficient with the moving
pointer in the source operand and the accumulation in the destination
operand.
This was discovered by Jan Beulich when looking at the equivalent code
in the Linux kernel.
