+ * In order to make use of some PMD Power Management schemes, the user might

+ * extra information including expected value, selection mask and data size to
+ * monitor. The user is expected to use this information to enter low power
+ * mode using the rte_power_monitor API, and the core will exit low power mode
+ * upon reaching the expected condition:
+ * (((uint64_t)read_mem(wake_addr, data_sz)) & mask) == expected).
+ * @note The low power mode can also exit in other cases, e.g. interrupt.

+ * @param[in] port_id
