[dpdk-users] event/octeontx: add event timer adapter driver

[Ali Alnubani]

Hi Pavan,

The patchset http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2018-April/094928.html is causing a compilation error on QUALCOMM ARM with RHEL7.5 and gcc version 4.8.5:

"""

The compilation only passes with CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_OCTEONTX_PMD, CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_OCTEONTX_SSOVF and CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_OCTEONTX_MEMPOOL set to false.
It also passes if I upgrade gcc, but can we have a fix for old gcc versions?

Thanks,
Ali
