Public bug reported:
A new suggestion for dpdk, in debian/rules you have a 'RTE_MACHINE =
"default"', it could be interesting to modify it (at least) by a
'RTE_MACHINE ?= "default"' since it permit to override it during a
rebuild.
In dpdk the default value is core2, and it is disabling sse4/avx/avx2
optimizations.
It will also pass a -march=core2 in dpdk Makefiles used by applications.
It should be quite interesting to be able to rebuild it easily for other
RTE_MACHINE values (I guess most dpdk users are using more modern CPU than a
core2)
