It looks better as C code.
Do you achieve the same performance as the asm version?

So to be clear, an application will benefit of this optimization if
1/ DPDK is specifically compiled for AMD
2/ the application is compiled with above DPDK build (because of inlinining)

I guess there is no good way to benefit from the optimization
without specific compilation, because of inlining constraint.
Another design, with less constraint but less performance,
would be to have a function pointer assigned at runtime based on the CPU.
