Use custom element size ring APIs to replace event ring
implementation. This avoids code duplication.

Gladly.  A number of the systems that were running the build stopped
their output for an unknown reason (looks like this was a 1-time
thing).  See the error:

  [2164/2165] Compiling C object 'app/te...st@@dpdk-test@exe/test_ring_perf.c.o'.

  No output has been received in the last 10m0s, this potentially
  indicates a stalled build or something wrong with the build itself.

My guess is some kind of infrastructure change happened during the
build?  Maybe compiling the test_ring_perf.c object has been pushed out
too far.  I've restarted one of the jobs to see if it will successfully
execute.  If so, it's just a fluke.

As for the fluke part, the intent is to enhance the robot to detect
these "error" conditions and issue a restart for the travis build
(rather than not report a valid state).  That's work TBD (but patches
are welcome - see https://github.com/orgcandman/pw-ci for all the bot
code).

I see this continually happening (I've kicked it off a number of times).

This patch might need more investigation, since it's always failing when
building 2164/2165 object.

I'll note that it seems to be clang related, rather than gcc related.

I compiled with clang-7. Compiler seems to hang while compiling test_ring.c

Cool.  Looks like a good catch, then :)

Update:
x86 - compilation succeeds, but take a long time - ~1hr.
On 2 different Arm platforms - compilation succeeds in normal amount of time.
Does anyone have any experience dealing with this kind of issue?

I ran this on another x86 server - this patch takes ~8mns. The master (without this patch) takes ~1.02mns.

It doesn't reproduce with clang-8.

Ok, do you want to update the Travis CI and re-run?

I isolated the compilation issue to one of the test cases. It was a large function and I have split it into smaller functions. The compilation time reduces significantly. I have submitted a new version.
