Hi Thiago,
Yes as of now it seems that the 32bit build issue is the only issue
blocking me currently to enable XEN_PMD in the build.
If you could get a fix to that to upstream to DPDK I think I can pick it up
and use it to enable XEN_PMD in the next version of the package.
In the worst case it might be fine if you get it upstream after 2.3 release
- but the sooner you would find the time for it, the better - as it should
apply more or less cleanly to the 2.3 release code.

I'm happy to hear that XEN_PMD might be enough for you to start as the DOM0
thing would be a totally different level of complexity.
