I think it would be clearer (either for the patch and the code) to avoid
an additional indent, and do something like that:

	size_t
	rte_mempool_xmem_size(uint32_t elt_num, size_t elt_sz,
		uint32_t pg_shift)
	{
		if (elt_sz == 0)
			return 0;

		/* same code as before */

It will also facilitate the merge with
http://patchwork.dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/12057/

Could you please submit a v2 with this logic?

Thanks,
Olivier
