Subject: [PATCH 1/2] config/arm: Do not require processor information

DPDK can be built even without exact processor information for x86 and ppc so 
allow to
build for Arm even if we don't know the targeted processor is unknown.

Hi Akihiko,

The design idea was to require an explicit generic build.
Default/native build doesn't fall back to generic build when SoC info is not on 
the list.
So the user has less chance to generate a suboptimal binary by accident.

Hi,

It is true that the suboptimal binary can result, but the rationale here is that we tolerate that for x86 and ppc so it should not really matter for Arm too. On x86 and ppc you don't need to modify meson.build just to run dts on a development machine.

Regards,
Akihiko Odaki
