Jerin Jacob dc448dc460 mbuf: make rearm data address naturally aligned
To avoid multiple stores on fast path, Ethernet drivers
aggregate the writes to data_off, refcnt, nb_segs and port
to an uint64_t data and write the data in one shot
with uint64_t* at &mbuf->rearm_data address.

Some of the non-IA platforms have store operation overhead
if the store address is not naturally aligned.This patch
fixes the performance issue on those targets.
