  Here is a new series on __rte_experimental tags.

Following the build error reported by Aaron [1], I noticed that some
experimental functions could go unnoticed because of a gcc peculiarity.

To catch those, I went and added a new check on the object files to
ensure that any experimental api flagged in the map files is really
exported as such.

Then went with my previous idea of only adding the tags on the functions
prototypes and enforcing it (a new check in checkpatches.sh).
And finally enforcing that the __rte_experimental tag is always the first
part of a function prototype which seems to work with both gcc and clang.

Comments and reviews highly welcome :-).

Changelog since v1:
- rebased on master, caught newly introduced issues in eal
- added acks
- fixed telemetry issue
- squashed Adrien proposition in the last patch

Getting an odd build error with "i686-native-linuxapp-icc" [1].
Beware of the "." at the end: "rte_flow_conv."

Objdump shows two symbols with one "." at the end and one without it [2].

And this seems not the problem of only experimental APIs [3]. But this is only
happening with "i686-native-linuxapp-icc".

Do you have any idea what is going on here?

Looked at rte_flow_conv, and I can not see anything special about it.

There might be a subtility in the way symbol names are chosen by ICC.
Can ICC guys look at this and give us some enlightment?

This is the sample disassembler of one of the "." functions [1], it looks like
this notation is used by compiler to prepend some code at the very begging of
the function, Harry (cc'ed) let me know this is may be security feature, not a
defect of compiler :)

So briefly, it looks like compiler can add this "." version of the symbols to
the ".text.experimental" section, I believe the solution is detect this notation
and handle it. What do you think?

Iiuc, we would skip the symbols finishing with a '.', is this all?
