The main point of this patch is to add a new generic helper.

ARM macros are just a result of introducing this new helper as a macro.
I would not mention them.

About this new helper, it's rather confusing:
- it is a macro, should be in capital letters,
- "rte_wait_event(addr, mask, cond, expected)" waits until "*addr &
mask cond expected" becomes false. I find this confusing. I would
invert the condition.
- so far, we had rte_wait_until_* helpers, rte_wait_event seems like a
step backward as it seems to talk about the ARM stuff (wfe),
- the masking part is artificial in some cases, at least let's avoid
using a too generic name, we can decide to add a non-masked helper
later.

For those reasons, I'd prefer we have something like:

/*
 * Wait until *addr & mask makes the condition true. With a relaxed memory
 * ordering model, the loads around this helper can be reordered.
 *
 * @param addr
 *  A pointer to the memory location.
 * @param mask
 *  A mask of *addr bits in interest.
 * @param cond
 *  A symbol representing the condition.
 * @param expected
 *  An expected value to be in the memory location.
 * @param memorder
 *  Two different memory orders that can be specified:
 *  __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE and __ATOMIC_RELAXED. These map to
 *  C++11 memory orders with the same names, see the C++11 standard or
 *  the GCC wiki on atomic synchronization for detailed definition.

dst needs some () protection => &(dst)
Is volatile necessary?

Indent should be one tab (idem in other places of this patch).
Double tab is when we have line continuation in tests.

Is this check on memorder being constant necessary?
We have a build bug on, right after, would it not catch non constant cases?

No need for () around expected.

With this patch, ARM header goes though a conversion of assert() to
compilation checks (build bug on).
I don't see a reason not to do the same in generic header.

As a result of this conversion, #include <assert.h> then can be removed.
Though it triggers build failure on following files (afaics) who were
implictly relying on this inclusion:
drivers/net/ark/ark_ddm.c
drivers/net/ark/ark_udm.c
drivers/net/ice/ice_fdir_filter.c
drivers/net/ionic/ionic_rxtx.c
drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4_txq.c
