This series applies on top of "[PATCH] eal: define generic vector types" [1][2]
Using built-in vector types forces compilers to consider SIMD instructions in specific places in order to improve performance on both IBM POWER8 and Intel architectures. For example, testpmd single-thread I/O forwarding packets per second performance is improved by 6% on Intel platforms.
