From: Narcisa Vasile <redacted> Add functions for barrier init, destroy, wait. A portable type is used to represent a barrier identifier. The rte_thread_barrier_wait() function returns the same value on all platforms.

It doesn't need to be part of the API. The pthread barrier is used only as part of the control thread implementation. The need disappear if you implement control thread on Windows.
