[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] ixgbe: test sse4.2 support at runtime for vectorized receive operations

[Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>]

The ixgbe vector receive code uses the sse4.2 intrinsics directly.  Instead of
requiring that they be enabled at build time for the entire dpdk library, just
enable sse4.2 for the ixgbe_rxtx_vec.c file, and test for support at runtime
when using it
