[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] eal/ppc64: improve rte_rdtsc() with __ppc_get_timebase()

[Thinh Tran <thinhtr@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

  __ppc_get_timebase() reads and returns the current value of the Time 
  Base Register. It's more efficient as it uses the processor’s time  
  base facility directly 

  the DPDK on FreeBSD currently is not supported on Powerpc64, it should
  be safe to include the sys/platform/ppc.h
