[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] add armv7 architecture support

[David Hunt]

This patch provides EAL support for the ARMv7 architecture. We hope that this will encourage the ARM community to contribute PMDs for their SoCs to DPDK.

For now, we've added Intel engineers to the MAINTAINERS file. We would like to encourage the ARM community to take over maintenance of this area in future, and to further improve it.

This patch was tested on AXM5500 and Raspberry Pi 2 Model B+
