that the min kernel version should be bumped from 3.2 to
the latest longterm stable release (3.16), but that
compatibility for commonly used distribution kernels should
be kept also.

.. note::
Kernel version 3.2 is no longer a kernel.org longterm stable kernel.
For DPDK 19.02 the minimum required kernel will be updated to
the current kernel.org oldest longterm stable supported kernel 3.16,
or recent versions of common distributions, notably RHEL/CentOS 7.
* glibc >= 2.7 (for features related to cpuset)
The version can be checked using the ``ldd --version`` command.
