The problem is inconsistency in performance on different Arm
platforms.

We had decided that each platform needs to enable it after some
testing.

Then it sounds like it does indeed need to be a build option. Does
it need to be added to the meson_options.txt, or can it just be
specified in cross-files and optionally via c_args?
Add it to the meson_options.txt is good as the option will be clearly
exposed.

My concern is more options (e.g. RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY) need to
be added in.

Will the options bloat meson_options.txt?
That bloat would indeed become a concern. We may need to look at more
use of auto-detection and cross files for such options.
Ruifeng,

This series is blocked on this last topic.
Do you intend to send a n+1?
I think the best way to expose this config is adding it to meson_options.
Will send v4 to update.
