Thanks for porting DPDK to a new architecture.

I am unsure of what this architecture status is wrt to the upstream
Linux kernel and wrt to main distributions support.
Could you give some details?

Otherwise, I did not look at the series yet, but it needs to be
rebased on the main repository, there have been quite some changes
since this original submission.
How will this architecture be integrated wrt CI: GHA? sending your hw
to UNH lab? or maybe do you have plans for your own CI servers?
