Quick check since this is not 19.05 material.

- New files should be Copyright 2019.
- Avoid copy/paste from Power, noticed a reference to Power in the config
file.
- Configuration files are stacked, only enable/disable the needed parts in
the specific s390 file
- Meson must be added.
- No need to add dead code, remove the commented code like:
  //#define dsb(opt) asm volatile("" : : : "memory")
- Comments using // are banned.
- No need to introduce a RTE_ACL_CLASSIFY_S390X to map to the scalar code.
  Just avoid the SSE code to be selected in the build framework (iiuc).
- Avoid introducing empty lines
