  - Implemented SVE code for comparing signatures in bulk lookup.
- Added Defines in code for SVE code support.
- Optimise NEON code
- New SVE code is ~5% slower than optimized NEON for N2 processor.

The RTE_HASH_COMPARE_SVE was defined in "PATCH v6 1/4] hash: pack the hitmask for hash in bulk lookup",
but its first use is in this commit, so I think it should defined in this commit.

If RTE_CPUFLAG_SVE and RTE_HAS_SVE_ACLE both set, then SVE impl will be chosen.
If RTE_CPUFLAG_SVE defined, but RTE_HAS_SVE_ACLE was not, then scalar will be chosen. --- in this case we could back to NEON impl.
So I suggest direct use "#if defined(RTE_HAS_SVE_ACLE)" here.

Plus:
I notice the commit log said the SVE performance is slower than NEON.

And I also notice other platform SVE also lower than NEON,
1. b4ee9c07bd config/arm: disable SVE ACLE for CN10K
2. 4eea7c6461 config/arm: add SVE ACLE control flag

So maybe we should disable RTE_HAS_SVE_ACLE default by:
diff --git a/config/arm/meson.build b/config/arm/meson.build
index 9d6fb87d7f..a5b890d100 100644
--- a/config/arm/meson.build
+++ b/config/arm/meson.build
@@ -875,7 +875,7 @@ endif

 if cc.get_define('__ARM_FEATURE_SVE', args: machine_args) != ''
     compile_time_cpuflags += ['RTE_CPUFLAG_SVE']
-    if (cc.check_header('arm_sve.h') and soc_config.get('sve_acle', true))
+    if (cc.check_header('arm_sve.h') and soc_config.get('sve_acle', false))
         dpdk_conf.set('RTE_HAS_SVE_ACLE', 1)
     endif
 endif

If the platform verify SVE has higher performance, then it could enable SVE by add "sve_acle: true" in soc_xxx config.

Thanks

Thank you. I forgot to edit that out after moving commit around.

Sounds fair. I'll do it.

Here I kinda disagree. In this particular instance, SVE is a bit slower 
with narrow vectors (128b), but could be faster with some wider vector 
sizes.
Even in general SVE 128b is not just slower than neon. It's a case by 
case basis. Sometime it's slower, sometime it's faster, so I don't think 
we should just disable it by default. In any case, disabling it should 
be its own patch with much discussion, not just a offhand thing we 
include in the middle of this patch.
This SVE version is still faster than the upstream neon version. I just 
happen to have improved the neon version even more.
