This patchset is more like enabling DPDK on a new platform, so, it's
a new feature to me, which is not a good candidate for a stable release:
the basic rule of it is only bug fixing patches are allowed.

The reason I picked "examples/ip_pipeline: fix lcore mapping for ppc64"
to stable branch is it looks like a bug fixing patch to me, while others
are not. OTOH, it also looks like a PPC enabling patch to me; from this
point of view, I may need drop it.

IBM guys, does it make sense to pick that one only to stable branch?
Or, should I drop it?

Thanks.
