[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: enable Arm NEON flags when __aarch64__ is defined

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: enable Arm NEON flags when __aarch64__ is defined

[Honnappa Nagarahalli]

GCC version 4.8.5 does not pre-define __ARM_NEON. NEON is not
optional for ArmV8. Hence NEON related code can be enabled
when __aarch64__ is defined.

Bugzilla ID: 82
