This patchset introduces a prototype implementation of dynamic memory allocation
for DPDK. It is intended to start a conversation and build consensus on the best
way to implement this functionality. The patchset works well enough to pass all
unit tests, and to work with traffic forwarding, provided the device drivers are
adjusted to ensure contiguous memory allocation where it matters.
The vast majority of changes are in the EAL and malloc, the external API
disruption is minimal: a new set of API's are added for contiguous memory
allocation (for rte_malloc and rte_memzone), and a few API additions in
rte_memory. Every other API change is internal to EAL, and all of the memory
allocation/freeing is handled through rte_malloc, with no externally visible
API changes, aside from a call to get physmem layout, which no longer makes
sense given that there are multiple memseg lists.
My apologies, this patchset was sent erroneously. Please look at the
version tagged as "RFC v2".
