When introducing IBM Power8, we failed to clean the cache line size definition.
I promised to not forget this issue in this thread with Neil:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-December/009439.html
It is defined in
config/defconfig_*
mk/machine/*/rte.vars.mk
mk/arch/*/rte.vars.mk
rte_memory.h
rte_kni_common.h
It should be defined only in the config files.
When we will introduce a configure script, we should be able to detect it.
Please Jerin, as ThunderX maintainer, may you help to fix this old mess?
Thanks
