This patchset enables an application lcore (non-service core) to run an iteration of a service. This is useful in a variety of cases, from advanced applications to unit-testing. A second function is added to allow the application to disable the check that a service-core is mapped to a service, in the return value from runstate_get(). This function passes responsibility to the application to run the service as required, allowing the first function to actually be of use. See the second commit message for details.
This patchset is in response to rework on the Eventdev SW PMD tests[1], which made it clear that there is a need for applications to be able to run exactly one iteration of a service exactly when required.
