[PATCH v2 0/3] app/testpmd: improve sse based macswap

[Vipin Varghese]

Goal of the patch series is to improve SSE macswap on x86_64 by
reducing the stalls in backend engine. Original implementation of
the SSE-mac-swap makes loop call to multiple load, shuffle & store.

Using SIMD ISA interleaving, register variable and reducing L1 & L2
cache eviction, we can reduce the stalls for
 - load SSE token exhaustion
 - Shuffle and Load dependency

Build test using meson script:
