[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 02/10] mempool: silence -Wcast-align on pointer arithmetic

[Cyril Chemparathy]

Translating from a mempool object to the mempool pointer does not break
alignment constraints.  However, the compiler is unaware of this fact and
complains on -Wcast-align.  This patch modifies the code to use RTE_PTR_SUB(),
thereby silencing the compiler by casting through (void *).
