[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] acl: Preform dynamic sse4.2 support check

[Neil Horman]

The ACL library relies on sse4.2 intrinsics to operate, but we don't have to
enable sse4.2 in the entire build.  Instead enable it for the ACL library alone,
and use rte_acl_create as a choke point, at which we can test for sse4.2
support, and return NULL.
