Thanks for extending ARM support.

The current NIC support status is:
% git grep -l 'ARM.*=.*Y' doc/guides/nics/features/
doc/guides/nics/features/ixgbe.ini
doc/guides/nics/features/ixgbe_vec.ini
doc/guides/nics/features/ixgbe_vf.ini
doc/guides/nics/features/ixgbe_vf_vec.ini
doc/guides/nics/features/pcap.ini
doc/guides/nics/features/thunderx.ini
doc/guides/nics/features/virtio.ini
doc/guides/nics/features/virtio_vec.ini

To sum it up, only virtio, ixgbe (and specific thunderx device)
seems to be supported on ARM in DPDK 16.07.
Now you are bringing support of i40e on ARM.
Do you plan to support more devices in near future?
Who is interested to do and/or validate ARM support of other drivers?
