We detect ARCH32/64 on both ARMv7 and ARMv8. This is strange.

Is it possible to extend it in the same way as it is prepared for ARMv7
[1, 2]?

[1] https://github.com/RehiveTech/dpdk/commit/bd5f0480b60282cfcd0ef43ddf8896bef8a23bbb
[2] https://github.com/RehiveTech/dpdk/commit/e293c11770aefc1f58f0c0cca5efee02b21910ba

Perhaps, can we merge this with ARMv7 one (in a single file)? Do the
features overlap in a sane way?

Jan
