Going back to the original discussion:
I have VPP working now on aarch64 with Mellanox Card.

Disclaimer:
$ uname -r
4.10.0-28-generic
Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.10.0-28-generic aarch64)
I am aware that the published supported version for mellanox with dpdk
is 4.14+

I am listing down my steps along with errors I faced and the work
arounds I used.

They may not be committable workarounds and I am not familiar with code
base of either vpp or dpdk to guarentee that they are the best workarounds
either.

Prereq for anything:
MOFED Installation(Very Important):

Download from:

http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26

First VPP downloading DPDK does not work for me:
Error:
>>>> $ make dpdk-install-dev DPDK_MLX5_PMD=y
>>>>
>>>> <INSTALL DIR>/vpp/dpdk/deb/_build/dpdk-
>>>> 18.02/drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow.c:38:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct
>>>> ibv_flow_spec_counter_action’
>>>>   struct ibv_flow_spec_counter_action {
>>>>          ^
>>>> In file included from <INSTALL DIR>/vpp/dpdk/deb/_build/dpdk-

>>>> /usr/include/infiniband/verbs.h:1360:8: note: originally defined here
>>>>   struct ibv_flow_spec_counter_action {

Workaround:

I use the same DPDK downloaded by VPP master
and make VPP use an external DPDK.

http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-18.02.tar.xz

$ make config T=arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc

Edit .config file at build/.config and mark this as yes:
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_PMD=y

$ make

VPP Compile:

Errors:

Note: Before this another error also comes up due to which you will have
compile dpdk_plugin.so with -libverbs its again some symbol
resolution issue. The above error was fixed adding -lmlx5.


Workaround:

I apply the following patch(Dont Copy-Paste, Edit <Install Dir> in your patch):

$ cat mlx5_vpp.diff

$ make build-release

These steps work for me. If somebody has faced similar issues and has a
better workaround then let me know.

P.S. I tried an alternate solution of building dpdk libraries as shared
it didnt work out for me. This is the error I got:

ERROR: failed to parse device "0004:01:00.1"
EAL: Unable to parse device '0004:01:00.1'

But this seems like more of DPDK issue as running DPDK examples also
gives similar errors:

sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<DPDK Install Path>/dpdk-18.02/build/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
./l2fwd -l 4-7 -n 4 -w 0004:01:00.1 -w 0004:01:00.2 -- -p 0x3
