[dpdk-stable] patch 'doc: fix missing classify methods in ACL guide' has been queued to stable release 19.11.6

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 19.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 10/30/20. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] doc: fix missing classify methods in ACL guide

[ upstream commit 28377e37ecdbdcd99218e33c53d3a06cc87726c9 ]

Add brief description for missing ACL classify algorithms:
RTE_ACL_CLASSIFY_NEON and RTE_ACL_CLASSIFY_ALTIVEC.

Fixes: 34fa6c27c156 ("acl: add NEON optimization for ARMv8")
Fixes: 1d73135f9f1c ("acl: add AltiVec for ppc64")

 It is purely a runtime decision which method to choose, there is no build-time difference.
 All implementations operates over the same internal RT structures and use similar principles. The main difference is that vector implementations can manually exploit IA SIMD instructions and process several input data flows in parallel.
 At startup ACL library determines the highest available classify method for the given platform and sets it as default one. Though the user has an ability to override the default classifier function for a given ACL context or perform particular search using non-default classify method. In that case it is user responsibility to make sure that given platform supports selected classify implementation.
