I DPDK as part of our build on all architectures, we define a set of RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG values which are then used in the code. However, as best I can see, each of these macros just duplicates a shorter macro provided by the compiler, e.g. RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_SSE3 == __SSE3__, RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_ALTIVEC == __ALTIVEC__, etc.
Therefore, I propose we remove these macros in 20.11 and just use the compiler provided ones directly. As such, I'm including a deprecation notice patch for this change. Please review and ack the deprecation notice if you approve. Thanks.
