The -march=atom flag is for older atom CPUs and don't support SSE4 which
is the minimum reqiurement for DPDK. And in fact, the current atom CPUs
support SSE4. So this patch removes atom as a target for DPDK builds and
adds a silvermont replacement instead.

Ideally this should be posted as a v2 replacing the previous patch
solution you proposed so that it's threaded with that email discussion.
However, that doesn't affect the patch itself which looks reasonable.

Sorry about that, but can link it manually.
