[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 01/17] eal: add max SIMD bitwidth

[Honnappa Nagarahalli]

<snip>

> 
> This patch adds a max SIMD bitwidth EAL configuration. The API allows for an
> app to set this value. It can also be set using EAL argument --force-max-simd-
> bitwidth, which will lock the value and override any modifications made by
> the app.

> v2: Added to Doxygen comment for API.
