  This patch introduces two new functions - rte_mbuf_buf_addr() and
rte_mbuf_data_addr_default().

rte_mbuf_buf_addr() reutrns the default buffer address of given mbuf which
comes after mbuf structure and private data.

rte_mbuf_data_addr_default() returns the default address of mbuf data
taking the headroom into account.

Please ignore v3, there were errors with some compilers.

v4:
* fix compilation error due to the experimental tag
* add warning of experimental tag to the comments

v3:
* rename functions

v2:
* initial implementation

Good point.
I wonder if we have a "todolist" for release n+2 so that we don't forget
about such things to do.

Maybe we could have something explicit in rte_mbuf_to_baddr that would
avoid it "inherits" the experimental tag.

If code comment is not enough, we can use Bugzilla.
