Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e. both
"make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc" and "T=x86_64-native-linux-gcc"
work.

Intel Architecture (IA), also called x86, is declined in
- i686
- x86_x32
- x86_64
The code common to all of these architectures can now be guarded
by a single flag RTE_ARCH_X86.

The mmap of hugepage files on IBM Power starts from high address to low
address. This is different from x86. This patch modified the memory
segment detection code to get the correct memory segment layout on Power
architecture. This patch also added a commond ARCH_PPC_64 definition for
64 bit systems.
