RTE_ARCH_xx flags are used to distinguish platform architectures.
These flags can be used to pick different code paths for different
architectures at compile time.
For Arm platforms, there are 3 flags in use: RTE_ARCH_ARM,
RTE_ARCH_ARMv7 and RTE_ARCH_ARM64.
RTE_ARCH_ARM64 is for 64-bit aarch64 platforms,
and RTE_ARCH_ARM & RTE_ARCH_ARMv7 are for 32-bit platforms.
RTE_ARCH_ARMv7 is for ARMv7 platforms as its name suggested.
The issue is meaning of RTE_ARCH_ARM is not clear enough.
Because no info about platform word length is included in the name.
To make the flag names more clear, a naming scheme is proposed.
RTE_ARCH_ARM (all Arm platforms)
|
+----RTE_ARCH_32 (New. 32-bit platforms of all architectures)
| |
| +----RTE_ARCH_ARMv7 (ARMv7 platforms)
| |
| +----RTE_ARCH_ARMv8_AARCH32 (aarch32 state on aarch64 machine)
|
+----RTE_ARCH_64 (64-bit platforms of all architectures)
|
+----RTE_ARCH_ARM64 (64-bit Arm platforms)
RTE_ARCH_32 will be explicitly defined for 32-bit platforms.
To fit into the new naming scheme, current usage of RTE_ARCH_ARM in
project is mapped to (RTE_ARCH_ARM && RTE_ARCH_32).
Matching flags for other architectures are:
RTE_ARCH_X86
|
+----RTE_ARCH_32
| |
| +----RTE_ARCH_I686
| |
| +----RTE_ARCH_X86_X32
|
+----RTE_ARCH_64
|
+----RTE_ARCH_X86_64
RTE_ARCH_PPC_64 ---- RTE_ARCH_64

Since all other apps have been moved to the "app" folder, the autotest app
remains alone in the test folder. Rather than having an entire top-level
folder for this, we can move it back to where it all started in early
versions of DPDK - the "app/" folder.
This move has a couple of advantages:
* This reduces clutter at the top level of the project, due to one less
folder.
* It eliminates the separate build task necessary for building the
autotests using make "make test-build" which means that developers are
less likely to miss something in their own compilation tests
* It re-aligns the final location of the test binary in the app folder when
building with make with it's location in the source tree.
For meson builds, the autotest app is different from the other apps in that
it needs a series of different test cases defined for it for use by "meson
test". Therefore, it does not get built as part of the main loop in the
app folder, but gets built separately at the end.

This is to logically group unit tests into their own folder,
separating them from "app" folder.
Hopefully this will make the unit test in DPDK more visible.
Following binaries moved to "test" folder:
cmdline-test
test-acl
test-pipeline
test <-- various DPDK unit tests

-Used architecture agnostic xmm_t to represent 128 bit SIMD variable
-Introduced vect_* API abstraction in app/test to test rte_lpm_lookupx4
API in architecture agnostic way
-Moved rte_lpm_lookupx4 SSE implementation to architecture specific
rte_lpm_sse.h file to accommodate new rte_lpm_lookupx4 implementation
for a different architecture.
