Hello,

CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARMv7 entry specifies the certain architecture, subset of C=
ONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM (which is 32b).

For ARM64 we can differentiate among architectures v8, v9, ..., v64 :) as w=
ell.

However, I doubt somebody will use dpdk on ARMv6.

IMO, the major options should be CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM and CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_AR=
M64.
