[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4] improve tsc frequency calibration

[Thomas Monjalon]

v3 changes:
- implement in .c files instead of exporting an inline arch function
- rename arch function from rte_rdtsc_arch_hz to get_tsc_freq_arch
- integrate x86 implementation in the series
- fix private EAL include in PPC implementation (not tested)

Some architecture like armv8 provides an architecture specific function
to get the rdtsc frequency. The existing rdtsc calibration scheme uses
OS serivce like sleep(1) to calibrate the frequency which may not
produce the accurate result. Introducing an architecture specific hook
to get the rdtsc frequency if architecture provides it. If not, use the
exiting the calibrate scheme to get the rdtsc frequency.

  eal/ppc64: implement arch-specific TSC freq query
