Good way to overcome the problem.

Though it provides a good flexibility and I don't have any better ideas.
So I'd say let stick with that approach.

Below are few technical comments.

Thanks

Typo, should be:
rte_acl_classify_alg(acx, RTE_ACL_CLASSIFY_SCALAR, NULL, NULL, 0, 3);

Each rte_acl_build() will reset all fields of rte_acl_ctx starting from num_categories and below.
So we need to move alg somewhere above num_categories:

No need to put this declaration here.
I think you can put both rte_acl_classify_sse(), rte_acl_classify_scalar() into acl.h (it is internal lib header).
And remove another declarations of these functions from rte_acl.c.

Move to acl.h.

acl_run.h contains defintions for a lot of functions and should be included only by acl_run_*.c. 
I  think it is better to move typedef int (*rte_acl_classify_t) into acl.h and don't include acl_run.h here.

As above: I think it is safe to move these declarations into acl.h.

static const static rte_acl_classify_t classify_fns[]
?

Duplicate.

Line is longer than 80 chars?

void
rte_acls_set_default_classify(...)

Though, I am not sure why do we need it to be public now.
Users can setup ALG per context.

Same as above:
void
rte_acl_set_ctx_classify(...)
Plus probably add checking that alg is a valid argument:
If ((uint32_t)alg < RTE_DIM(classify_fns)) {ctx->alg=alg; return 0;}
return -EINVAL;

Can you move alg argument to be the last one?
That would prevent copying parameters between registers.

Plus same thing with the function definition style.

I think you removed the wrong comment.
All public API function declaration supposed to be preceded by formal doxygen style comment:
Brief explanation, parameters and return value description, etc.
Please restore the proper comment for it.
BTW,  two new functions above - they need a formal comments too.
