Hi Rao

The existing rule is to try best not modify source files in the folder of base/ 
for each PMD. The exceptions are *_osdep.h or *_osdep.c.
So for your case, please redefine the rd32/wr32 in i40e_osdep.h. (with 
condition compiles for ARM?, as other CPU structures may not need that.)

Regards,
Helin
