This LGTM too.
Agreed that it doesn't need to be read per-port or per-RXQ.

I also tested this by running a scenario with multiple PMD threads and toggling 
the SMC on and off with EMC off always:
$OVS_DIR/utilities/ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . 
other_config:smc-enable=true
$OVS_DIR/utilities/ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . 
other_config:smc-enable=false

I checked pmd-perf-show to see that SMC was being enabled and disabled 
correctly. It was.
watch -d -n 1 $OVS_DIR/utilities/ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-perf-show
