[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 0/4] add arm64 neon version of CRC compute APIs

[Ashwin Sekhar T K]

This patch series adds arm64 neon version of CRC compute APIs utilizing
the pmull capability (which is available as part of crypto extensions).

 * Patch 1 adds crypto capability in compilation of generic armv8a
   and thunderx targets.
 * Patch 2 moves GCC_VERSION defintion to a more common location as
   it will be used in the Patch 3.
 * Patch 3 adds the arm64 neon implementation of the CRC compute APIs.
 * Patch 4 adds the test case for testing arm64 neon implementation of the
   CRC compute APIs.

v6:
* Corrected the fallthrough comment style.
* Rebased to DPDK tip.

v5:
* Moved APIs shift_bytes_left, shift_bytes_right and extract_vector from
  net_crc_neon.h to rte_vect.h and renamed them to vshift_bytes_left,
  vshift_bytes_right and vextract respectively.

v4:
* Rebased on top of latest commit
* Edited the Patch 2 commit message body according to comments
* Moved definition and usage of GCC_VERSION under RTE_TOOLCHAIN_GCC flag

v3:
* Moved feature detection changes and GCC_VERSION definition changes
  to separate commits.
* Replaced usage of assert() with RTE_ASSERT()
* Made the comments in rte_vect.h more positive in sense
* Moved GCC_VERSION definition to common header and removed the same from
  rte_lru.h

v2:
* Fixed merge conflict in MAINTAINERS
* Fixed checkpatch errors/warnings
