Should it be included in "if defined(RTE_ARCH_ARM64)"?

The enum can be wrapped under "if defined(RTE_ARCH_ARM64)" with no 
issues, as all its usages are also under "if defined(RTE_ARCH_ARM64)".
I followed EFD_LOOKUP_AVX2 and defined EFD_LOOKUP_NEON on the same lines.
Please advise on whether this change is to be made. Will follow your advice.
