IBM POWER systems support more than one type of memory management unit
(MMU). The Power ISA 3.0 specification, which applies to P9 and later
CPUs, defined a new Radix MMU which, among other things, allows an
anonymous memory page mapping to be converted into a hugepage mapping
at a specific address. This is a required feature in DPDK so we need
to test the MMU type when POWER systems are used and provide a more
useful error message for the user when running on an unsupported
system.
