I do confirm and feel that we should go step by step.

Having multiple library as Bruce suggest could be an option, I like this 
idea.

Another one could be to get a new ELF format (like executables on Mac or 
Windows) that allows to support multiple binaries optimized for each 
CPUs. I am not aware of such options with Linux loader. But here, as a 
DPDK community, we cannot push it. Any one at Fedora?
