[dpdk-dev,v5,4/8] table: enable table library for ppc64le

  Gowrishankar,

The unit test of table got failed. 
When I took a look at the code, it failed on this line in file
lib/librte_table/rte_table_hash_key8.c ,
lib/librte_table/rte_table_hash_key16.c,
lib/librte_table/rte_table_hash_key32.c:

	if ((check_params_create_lru(p) != 0) ||
		((sizeof(struct rte_table_hash) % RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) != 0)
||
		((sizeof(struct rte_bucket_4_8) % RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) !=
0)) {
		return NULL;
	}

	if ((check_params_create_lru(p) != 0) ||
		((sizeof(struct rte_table_hash) % RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) != 0)
||
		((sizeof(struct rte_bucket_4_16) % RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) !=
0)) {
		return NULL;
	}

	if ((check_params_create_lru(p) != 0) ||
		((sizeof(struct rte_table_hash) % RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) != 0)
||
		((sizeof(struct rte_bucket_4_32) % RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) !=
0)) {
		return NULL;
	}

The size of rte_bucket_4_8/16/32 is not aligned to cache line size. This is
normal, because POWER has different cache line size. The change of struct
rte_bucket_4_8/16/32 may solve this problem. I didn't do further
investigation. Can you help to double check this patch?

Thanks Chao for bringing up.

I had fixed one of .c earlier before rebasing to master. I then dropped 
the patch
while decoupling ppc enablement and bug fixes. Now I realize on why we need
this fix as part of enabling table in ppc completely. So, added one 
additional patch
separately fixing this in v6. After this patch, a ltable lib unit test 
fail as in Intel case
currently and it is not related to powerpc changes.

If some one already looking into broken unit test failure for table lib, 
that is helpful.

Regards,
Gowrishankar
