Requiring a new x86 cpuflag to identify this ISA presence is ok.


But here, I am talking about the generic power instrinsic API.
Let me phrase my comment differently...

As described in the API:
        uint32_t power_monitor : 1;
        /**< indicates support for rte_power_monitor function */

Does AMD thing behave completely different from the x86?
Looking at patch 3, I understand this is not the case.

So we don't need a "amd" flag in the generic flags.
The indirection for calling the right ISA should be hidden in
rte_power_* helpers implemented for x86.
