v3 of this patch incorporates the following changes based on
review comments by Petri and Stuart

- Remove use of typeof for C99 compliance
- Use intmax_t instead of ssize_t for C99 compliance
- Move odp_buffer_alloc() and odp_buffer_free() back to odp_buffer_pool.h
- Move odp_buffer_pool() to odp_buffer.h
- Add @retval white space for .h file readability
- Rename odp_config.h packet vars per Petri's preference
- Add odp_config.h vars for controlling buffer alignment
- Properly support buffer alignment per spec.  Supported range is 8 to 4096

v2 of this patch incorporates comments from Bala and Petri.
In particular:

- buf_size and buf_align in odp_buffer_pool_param_t are now uint32_t
- odp_buffer_pool_info_t has been changed to add the shm
- odp_buffer_pool_info() has been changed to reflect the above change
- odp_config.h adds config vars for default headroom and tailroom
- odp_buffer_alloc() and odp_buffer_free() moved to odp_buffer.h
- miscellaneous comment improvements and typo corrections

The merge conflict with the classification code was well know before.  Now
that it's been merged I'll resolve this as part of the v4 patch I'll post
today.  Getting these various conflicts resolved will happen as part of the
merge process.

The agreed-to sequence is:
- classifier
- buffers/packets
- timers, pktio

Thanks.

Bill
