1) Some reason thunderx PMD is not added in refactoring. I guess its due
to x86 and arm64 name space collision in the common document, if so we need
to find a way to fix it and thunderx PMD.
2)I guess, It is better to keep all the startup logs in respective PMD.I
think, it will help in debugging in case there are any issues.
