Since lcore_buffer is never freed again, it is easy to support Windows:

#ifdef RTE_EXEC_ENV_WINDOWS
#include <malloc.h>
#endif

#ifndef RTE_EXEC_ENV_WINDOWS
lcore_buffer = aligned_alloc(RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE,
                LCORE_BUFFER_SIZE);
#else
/* Never freed again, so don't worry about _aligned_free(). */
lcore_buffer = _aligned_malloc(LCORE_BUFFER_SIZE,
                RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE);
#endif

NB: Note the opposite parameter order.
