+Subject: [PATCH 5/7] table: fix verification on hash bucket header alignment
+
+In powerpc systems, rte table hash structs rte_bucket_4_8, rte_bucket_4_16 and
+rte_bucket_4_32 are not cache aligned and hence verification on same would fail.
+Instead of checking alignment on cpu cacheline, it could equally be tested as
+multiple of 64 bytes.

+Subject: [PATCH 7/7] examples/ip_pipeline: fix lcore mapping for ppc64
+
+This patch fixes ip_pipeline panic in app_init_core_map while preparing cpu
+core map in powerpc with SMT off. cpu_core_map_compute_linux currently prepares
+core mapping based on file existence in sysfs ie.
+
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<LCORE_NUM>/topology/physical_package_id
+ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<LCORE_NUM>/topology/core_id
+
+These files do not exist for lcores which are offline for any reason (as in
+powerpc, while SMT is off). In this situation, this function should further
+continue preparing map for other online lcores instead of returning with -1
+for a first unavailable lcore.
+
+Also, in SMT=off scenario for powerpc, lcore ids can not be always indexed from
+0 upto 'number of cores present' (/sys/devices/system/cpu/present). For eg, for
+an online lcore 32, core_id returned in sysfs is 112 where online lcores are
+10 (as in one configuration), hence sysfs lcore id can not be checked with
+indexing lcore number before positioning lcore map array.
