[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] config/arm: add ability to express arch extensions

[pbhagavatula at marvell.com]

From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula at marvell.com>

The ARM architecture allows SoCs to have extensions in addition
to base profiles such as Large System Extension (LSE), CRC etc.

Add ability to declare SoC specific extensions.
