Agree, this was done by watching the Power 8 patchset. But this seems
quite logical.

It is the full name of the ARM architecture - armv7, A profile. There
are 3 profiles: A - application, R - real time, M - microcontroller.
They differ in what MMU/MPU and other such things they support. But,
finally, we can omit. The M profile is unsuitable for DPDK anyway. The
R profile may be however used under certain circumstances (I believe, it
can run Linux).
