Ok, keeping a check for sse/avx across the patch wont stand true for
future virtio vectored implementation lets say for arm/arm64 cases
i.e.. sse2neon types. That implies user suppose to keep on appending /
adding checks for see2neon for example and so forth.
On other hand, motivation of including INC_VEC config was inspired
from IXGBE and other pmd drivers who support vectored sse/avx _rx path
and also could work w/o vectored mode. Current virtio is missing such
support and arm dont have vectored sse2neon types implementation right
now so its a blocker for arm case. Also keeping virtio pmd driver
flexible enough to work in non-vectored mode is a requirement/ a
feature.
