[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 04/12] eal: arm64: add armv8-a version of rte_cycles_64.h

[Jerin Jacob <jerin.jacob@caviumnetworks.com>]

cntcvt_el0 ticks are not based on cpu clk unlike rdtsc in x86.
Its a fixed clock running based at constant speed.
Though its a armv8-a implementer choice, typically it runs at 50 or 100 MHz
