well, so as alex expressed his desire to create a dpdk nix build,
(and i've started giving him hints on how to do so properly)
and if it's a similar dpu as nvidia's one then we'll need exactly
this new build on the two small arm boards attached to the asic...
btw do we have any technical contact to the box vendors to have the bsp and 
the dpdk pmd?
