[PATCH v2 0/3] Enable PMD power management on Arm

[Feifei Wang <feifei.wang2@arm.com>]

For Arm aarch, use WFE instructions to enable PMD power management.

Test Results:
dynamic instructions over 1sec	without wfe	with wfe	percentage
ampere-altra			6,298,483,712	9,117,624	-99.855%
thunderx2			6,990,909,373	3,247,226	-99.954%

When power efficient PMD is enabled by using WFE on Arm, if no pkts
received, the instructions that CPU executes is reduced by 99%.

V2:
1. move rte_wake_up API out of signal_exit(David Marchand, Thomas, Stephen)
2. Add test results when using wfe on ARM server

Feifei Wang (3):
  eal: add 8 bits case for wait scheme
  eal: add power mgmt support on Arm
