This patch enables the NXP DPAA & DPAA2 drivers for
ARMV8 targets. They can be used with standard armv8 config
with command line mempool argument or newly introduced
platform mempool internal registration mechanism.
Note that the dpaa(x) specific config files are still preserved
to continue customer support. They also contain some of the ARM
performance tuning flags. e.g the default ARM cache size of 128
is not optimal for NXP platforms.
However, these configs will eventually be removed once a dynamic
mechanisms are developed to detect the performance settings.

This patch is to support C11 memory model barrier in librte_ring.
There are 2 barrier implementation options in librte_ring (suggested
by Jerin).
1. use rte_smp_rmb
2. use load_acquire/store_release(refer to [1]).
The reason why providing 2 options is the performance benchmark
difference in different arm machines, refer to [2].
CONFIG_RTE_RING_USE_C11_MEM_MODEL is provided, and by default it is "n"
on any architectures and only "y" on arm64 so far.

This patch provides an option to do rte_memcpy() using 'restrict'
qualifier, which can induce GCC to do optimizations by using more
efficient instructions, providing some performance gain over memcpy()
on some ARM64 platforms/enviroments.
The memory copy performance differs between different ARM64
platforms. And a more recent glibc (e.g. 2.23 or later)
can provide a better memcpy() performance compared to old glibc
versions. It's always suggested to use a more recent glibc if
possible, from which the entire system can get benefit. If for some
reason an old glibc has to be used, this patch is provided for an
alternative.
This implementation can improve memory copy on some ARM64
platforms, when an old glibc (e.g. 2.19, 2.17...) is being used.
It is disabled by default and needs "RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY"
defined to activate. It's not always proving better performance
than memcpy() so users need to run DPDK unit test
"memcpy_perf_autotest" and customize parameters in "customization
section" in rte_memcpy_64.h for best performance.
Compiler version will also impact the rte_memcpy() performance.
It's observed on some platforms and with the same code, GCC 7.2.0
compiled binary can provide better performance than GCC 4.8.5. It's
suggested to use GCC 5.4.0 or later.

Moved all common defines from defconfig_arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc
to common_armv8a_linuxapp.
Created new config arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-clang which adds the
clang support to armv8a.
Now defconfigs arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc/clang contain only the
CONFIG_RTE_TOOLCHAIN* defines and all other common defines are
inherited from common_armv8a_linuxapp.
