When introducing IBM Power8, we failed to clean the cache line size definition.
I promised to not forget this issue in this thread with Neil:
	http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-December/009439.html

It is defined in
	config/defconfig_*
	mk/machine/*/rte.vars.mk
	mk/arch/*/rte.vars.mk
	rte_memory.h
	rte_kni_common.h

It should be defined only in the config files.
When we will introduce a configure script, we should be able to detect it.

Please Jerin, as ThunderX maintainer, may you help to fix this old mess?
Thanks
