  On machines that are strict on pointer alignment, current code breaks
on GCC's -Wcast-align checks on casts from narrower to wider types.
This patch introduces new unaligned_uint(16|32|64)_t types, which
correctly retain alignment in such cases.

This is currently unimplemented on ICC and clang, and equivalents will need to
be plugged in.

CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_STRICT_ALIGN should be declared (and disabled) in config templates.

Sure.  Will include in v3.  I'm assuming this goes into
common_linuxapp and common_bsdapp, allowing specific architectures to
override if necessary.  Correct?
