You should be able to use RTE_ALIGN_CEIL() instead of your own roundup 
macro, assuming this function isn't used in a patch I'm yet to review, 
with a potentially non-power-of-2 align parameter value.

If not, change the macro to a function.

Use RTE_PTR_ADD().

RTE_PTR_ADD() again.

Current, the default align size is CACHE_LINE_SIZE, and it's power-of-2, so will use RTE_ALIGN_CEIL in v6.
