Make ACL library to build/work on 'default' architecture:
- make rte_acl_classify_scalar really scalar
 (make sure it wouldn't use sse4 instrincts through resolve_priority()).
- Provide two versions of rte_acl_classify code path:
  rte_acl_classify_sse() - could be build and used only on systems with sse4.2
  and upper, return -ENOTSUP on lower arch.
  rte_acl_classify_scalar() - a slower version, but could be build and used
  on all systems.
- keep common code shared between these two codepaths.

v2 chages:
 run-time selection of most appropriate code-path for given ISA.
 By default the highest supprted one is selected.
 User can still override that selection by manually assigning new value to
 the global function pointer rte_acl_default_classify.
 rte_acl_classify() becomes a macro calling whatever rte_acl_default_classify
 points to.

This is alot better thank you.  A few remaining issues.
My comments inline too.
Thanks

Exporting this variable as part of the ABI is a bad idea.  If the prototype of
the function changes you have to update all your applications.
If the prototype of rte_acl_classify will change, most likely you'll have to update code that uses it anyway. 
 Make the pointer
an internal symbol and set it using a get/set routine with an enum to represent
the path to choose.  That will help isolate the ABI from the internal
implementation. 
That's was my first intention too.
But then I realised that if we'll make it internal, then we'll need to make rte_acl_classify() a proper function
and it will cost us extra call (or jump).
Also I think user should have an ability to change default classify code path without modifying/rebuilding acl library.
For example: a bug in an optimised code path is discovered, or user may want to implement and use his own version of classify().  
It will also let you prevent things like selecting a run time
path that is incompatible with the running system
If the user going to update rte_acl_default_classify he is probably smart enough to know what he is doing.
From other hand - user can hit same problem by simply calling rte_acl_classify_sse() directly.
and prevent path switching
during searches, which may produce unexpected results.
Not that I am advertising it, but  it should be safe to update rte_acl_default_classify during searches:
All versions of classify should produce exactly the same result for each input packet and treat acl context as read-only.

I get this lets you make some more code common, but its just unpleasant to trace
through.  Looking at the defintion of __func_match_check__ I don't see anything
particularly performance sensitive there.  What if instead you simply redefined
__func_match_check__ in a common internal header as acl_match_check (a generic
function), and had it accept priority resolution function as an argument?  That
would still give you all the performance enhancements without having to include
c files in the middle of other c files, and would make the code a bit more
parseable.
Yes, that way it would look much better.
And it seems that with '-findirect-inlining' gcc is able to inline them via pointers properly.
Will change as you suggested.

make this static, the outside world shouldn't need to see it.
As I said above, I think it more plausible to keep it globally visible.

Make it static, The outside world doesn't need to call this.
See above, would like user to have an ability to call it manually if needed.

Don't need the else clause here, the static initalizer has you covered.
I think we better keep it like that - in case user calls it manually.
We always reset  rte_acl_default_classify to the 'best proper' value.

Doesn't need to be extern.

Not sure why you need this either.  The rte_acl_classify_t should be enough, no?
We preserve existing rte_acl_classify() API, so users don't need to modify their code.
