I try to with this and it will report compiler warning:
' cast discards ‘const’ qualifier'.
I think this is due to that in rte_wait_event macro, we use
typeof(*(addr)) value = 0;
and value is defined as "const uint32_t",
but it should be able to be updated.
Furthermore, this reflects the limitations of the new macro, it cannot be
applied
when 'addr' is type of 'const'. Finally, I think I should give up the change
for "bpf".
