I answered your post on Stack Overflow, but it is not normally were I look for
Pktgen related questions.
The short answer is the errors appear to be from DPDK not having experimental
APIs enabled, but I could be wrong.
Let me know if you can not get it working with the step I provided, the problem
will be I do not build Pktgen on CentOS.
