When built in a C++ application, the keepalive include fails:
rte_keepalive.h:142:41: error: ‘ALIVE’ was not declared in this scope
keepcfg->state_flags[rte_lcore_id()] = ALIVE;
^
C++ requires to use a scope operator to access an enum inside a struct.
There was also a namespace issue for the values (no RTE prefix).
The solution is to move the struct and related code out of the header file.
