In this section of the code:

stack_size,
stack_size,
rte_lcore_to_socket_id(lcore_id));
stack memory is aligned to the stack_size. According to the implementation of
rte_zmalloc_socket, the alignment must be a power of two. If the user inputs a number of
KBs that is not a power of two, this will fail with a generic error message of "
EAL: Cannot allocate worker lcore stack memory." A check for this occurrence with a
more descriptive error message and a note in the documentation would be good to include.
Good point. Alignment to stack size is not necessary. I'll post a new
version that only requires cache line alignment.
