b635c567d1 VPP-79: fix cross-compilation build break
.../packages/dpdk.mk must not set $(TARGET). The Makefile fragment
really only needed to use a temporary variable to control the
dpdk Makefile. Simple fix: set $(DPDK_PLATFORM_TARGET) instead.

1c80e831b7 Add support for multiple microarchitectures in single binary
* compiler -march= parameter is changed from native to corei7
   so code is always genereted with instructions which are available
   on the Nehalem microarchitecture (up to SSE4.2)

 * compiler -mtune= parameter is added so code is optimized for
   corei7-avx which equals to Sandy Bridge microarchitecture

 * set of macros is added which allows run-time detection of available
   cpu instructions (e.g. clib_cpu_supports_avx())

 * set of macros is added which allows us to clone graph node funcitons
   where cloned function is optmized for different microarchitecture
   Those macros are using following attributes:
     __attribute__((flatten))
     __attribute__((target("arch=core-avx2)))

   I.e. If applied to foo_node_fn() macro will generate cloned
   functions foo_node_fn_avx2() and foo_node_fn_avx512() (future)
   It will also generate function void * foo_node_fn_multiarch_select()
   which detects available instruction set and returns pointer to the
   best matching function clone.

737547efc3 dpdk/Makefile - Allow dpdk target to be set according to the platform
Allows DPDK parameters to be overriden from the platform
definition.

$(PLATFORM)_dpdk_arch = "armv7a"
$(PLATFORM)_dpdk_target = "arm-armv7a-linuxapp-gcc"
$(PLATFORM)_dpdk_make_extra_args = "CONFIG_RTE_EAL_IGB_UIO=y"
