Almost all (if not all) PMD write macros' argument order is like
write(address, value), but rte_writeX has rte_writex(value, address)

What is the common usage for this kind of function?
What do you think reverting argument order?

As a similar example, dpdk ether_addr_copy(src, dst) function argument
order is revers according common usage, and keeps confusing people.
