[PATCH v3 0/3] net/iavf: add NEON support for Rx/Tx paths

[Jay Wang <jay.wang2@arm.com>]

- Add the scattered Rx burst function for 32B legacy descriptor
- Add the NEON-optimised Tx burst function
- Add the NEON-optimised Rx burst functions for flexible descriptor

Single-core benchmark result on a Grace server with an Intel E810:

| buffer sz (B) | prev (MPPS) | optimised (MPPS) | uplift |
| ------------- | ----------- | ---------------- | ------ |
| 64            | 62.241      | 86.010           | 38.2%  |
| 128           | 60.813      | 81.453           | 33.9%  |
| 256           | 23.730      | 24.633           | 3.8%   |
| 512           | 10.268      | 10.380           | 1.1%   |
| 1024          | 4.588       | 4.628            | 0.9%   |
| 1518          | 4.601       | 4.669            | 1.5%   |

v3:
- Optimised the branch prediction in counting packets by changing
  unlikely() to likely()
- Added the single-core performance data from Grace + E810 done by
  Andrew

v2:
- Fixed the AArch32 cross-building issue on AArch64 by restricting the
  call of iavf_rxq_vec_setup to AArch64 only


Jay Wang (3):
  net/iavf: add Rx scattered function for 32B desc
  net/iavf: add NEON-optimised Tx burst function
  net/iavf: add NEON support for Rx flex desc
