Please, would it be possible to use the generic SIMD intrinsics?
We could define generic types compatible with Altivec and NEON:
	__attribute__ ((vector_size (n)))
as described in https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Vector-Extensions.html

> +/* 8 entries per bucket */
> +#if defined(__AVX2__)

Please prefer
	#ifdef RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_AVX2
Ideally the vector support could be checked at runtime:
	if (rte_cpu_get_flag_enabled(RTE_CPUFLAG_AVX2))
It would allow packaging one binary using the best optimization available.

In order to allow such switch based on register size, we could have an
abstraction in EAL supporting 128/256/512 width for x86/ARM/POWER.
I think aliasing RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_ and RTE_CPUFLAG_ may be enough.
