Hi, Jianbo

I have tested you patch on my X86 platform,  the single core performance for 
Non-vector PMD will have about 1Mpps drop
Non-vector PMD single core performance with patch               :  ~33.9 Mpps
Non-vector PMD single core performance without patch        :  ~35.1 Mpps
Is there any way to avoid such performance drop on X86? Thanks.

BRs
Lei

Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] i40e: enable i40e pmd on ARM platform

And add read memory barrier to avoid status inconsistency between two RX 
descriptors readings.
