[dpdk-dev] Build failures in 21.11-rc2

21.11-rc2 builds are failing on CentOS 8.4, apparently because
the intrinsic _mm512_set_epi8() is not defined in the GCC
headers (see example below).

Perhaps code using _mm512_set_epi8() could be reworked to
avoid that intrinsic, or maybe support could be detected at build
configuration time and definitions for them could be provided in
DPDK headers.

Here is a GCC patch to add this intrinsic:
https://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg188664.html

BTW, GCC 10.2.1 (via "scl enable gcc-toolset-10") is able to build
21.11-rc2 successfully on CentOS 8.4.
