[dpdk-dev] [RFC 00/12] introduce s390x architecture

[Vivian Kong]

Thanks for the links! I'll go through them.
                                                                                                                                                
 For Power CI, not sure how we can help as it is done by another team.  If s390x is added, we plan on maintaining currency and setting up CI on 
 s390x will help do that.
