Just clarify a bit further the idea I had in mind, I've put together the 
following
two example patches. After applying these patches the following sequence of
operations works to install dpdk libraries and headers into /opt (/opt/lib/dpdk
and /opt/include/dpdk respectively). Also the machine type is changed from 
native
to default, and the settings for KNI are disabled.

        ./configure --prefix=/opt --machine=default \
                --config=RTE_LIBRTE_KNI=n \
                --config=CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD=n
        cd build
        make 
        sudo make install

NOTE: I'm not suggesting this is ready for inclusion in DPDK in any shape or
form, I'm just trying to make clear what my suggestion was referring to, and
to trigger more discussion on the topic.
