[Anoob] DPDK binaries may not be built natively in all cases. When there are standard release packages with pre-built binaries, it would help in having cross compilation.

[Anoob] soc_cn9k portion is not following alphabetical order. I think it is so because of the renaming from soc_octeontx2 to soc_cn9k. I can push a separate patch to have this addressed. New addition in this patch is following alphabetical order. soc_odyssey is added between n2 & stingray.
