  This patch converts some of the casts to unaligned integer types.

This fixes the following error, which is seen on x86, with
gcc 7.4.0:

drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_rxtx.c: In function ‘mlx5_tx_dseg_iptr’:
drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_rxtx.c:2740:9: error: passing argument 1 of
‘memcpy’ makes pointer from integer without a cast
[-Werror=int-conversion]
  memcpy(dst, src, len);
         ^~~

The memcpy call is replaced with 2 copies of uint32 for better
performance on ARM.

Fixes: 18a1c20044c0 ("net/mlx5: implement Tx burst template")

This orphan line look strange:

Could you, please, remove it?
The full compiler error message looks as non-appropriate either.
What do you think about replace one with description?

Replaced with completely unrolled copying for the data length up to 15B,
not only 2 copies of uint32.

I'm OK with this patch, after polishing commit message, you may append my
Acked-by to v2. Thanks.

With best regards, Slava
