Sure, I can prefix those.

However, since this is a non-published header, private to the DPDK build,
the only chances of collision come from the DPDK files which include the
header. The objective of making it a header was so that none of this ever
leaks outside of the DPDK libs that use the functions internally. That
said, there is no harm in prefixing either, so I'll do so in any future
version.
