Rather than attempting to load the contents of the auxv directly,
prefer to use an exposed API - and if that doesn't exist then attempt
to load the vector.  This is because on some systems, when a user
is downgraded, the /proc/self/auxv file retains the old ownership
and permissions.  The original method of /proc/self/auxv is retained.

This also removes a potential abort() in the code when compiled with
NDEBUG.  A quick parse of the code shows that many (if not all) of
the CPU flag parsing isn't used internally, so it should be okay.

NOTE: These APIs aren't added to the map because I really want
      them to be internal-only.  No other component really needs
      access to them.  I couldn't find a good common internal
      include file which is why they're in the rte_cpuflags.h -
      but if there's a better one, we can spin another version.

I like the way you reduced this code here, which does make a lot of sense.

Need to add more docs here as zero is not the normal error return value, same for header file. Please add the correct doxygen formats.

Can we not remove cmp_str and just test for str != NULL to compare strings. This would be cleaner IMO.

Should we set auxv = { 0 }; here, maybe not required.

Does this need to be case sensitive or should we use strcasecmp() instead.

Agreed - will fix in v2.

It shouldn't be needed because we read() into it before ever using it as
an r-value.

The original code was case sensitive, so I left it.  I'd rather
not introduce a functional change like that in this patch.

Good call on these.  Will do for v2.

Rather than attempting to load the contents of the auxv directly,
prefer to use an exposed API - and if that doesn't exist then attempt
to load the vector.  This is because on some systems, when a user
is downgraded, the /proc/self/auxv file retains the old ownership
and permissions.  The original method of /proc/self/auxv is retained.

This also removes a potential abort() in the code when compiled with
NDEBUG.  A quick parse of the code shows that many (if not all) of
the CPU flag parsing isn't used internally, so it should be okay.
