va2pa depends on the physical address and virtual address offset of
current mbuf. It may get the wrong physical address of next mbuf which
allocated in another hugepage segment.
In rte_mempool_populate_default(), trying to allocate whole block of
contiguous memory could be failed. Then, it would reserve memory in
several memzones that have different physical address and virtual address
offsets. The rte_mempool_populate_default() is used by
rte_pktmbuf_pool_create().

Update KNI documentation to reflect current ethtool support.
Replace references to out dated tools (ifconfig) with
modern iproute2. Tshark is a better replacement for tcpdump.

- mbuf_size and mtu are now being calculated according
to the given mb-pool.
- max_mtu is now being set according to the given mtu
the above two changes provide the ability to work with jumbo frames

Add module parameter 'carrier='on|off' to set the default carrier state
for linux network interfaces created by the KNI module. The default
carrier state is 'off'.
For KNI interfaces which need to reflect the carrier state of
a physical Ethernet port controlled by the DPDK application, the
default carrier state should be left set to 'off'. The application
can set the carrier state of the KNI interface to reflect the state
of the physical Ethernet port using rte_kni_update_link().
For KNI interfaces which are purely virtual, the default carrier
state can be set to 'on'. This enables the KNI interface to be
used without having to explicity set the carrier state to 'on'
using rte_kni_update_link().

This change adds automatic figure references to the docs. The
figure numbers in the generated Html and PDF docs are now
automatically numbered based on section.
Requires Sphinx >= 1.3.1.
The patch makes the following changes.
* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption
to the figure.
* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.
* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
for figure.
* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
have one so that they can be cross-referenced.
* Renamed existing image target to match the image
name for consistency.
* Replaces the Figures lists with automatic :numref:
:ref: entries to generate automatic numbering
and captions.
* Replaces "Figure" references with automatic :numref:
references.

Changed all image.svg and image.png extensions to image.*
This allows Sphinx to decide the appropriate image type
from the available image options.
In case of PDF, SVG images are converted and Sphinx must pick
the converted version.

Since DPDK now has support for the in-tree uio_pci_generic driver,
update the programmers guide document to reference this module, and to use it
in preference to the igb_uio driver, which is DPDK-specific.

The 1.7 DPDK_Prog_Guide document in MSWord has been converted to rst format for
use with Sphinx. There is an rst file for each chapter and an index.rst file
which contains the table of contents.
The top level index file has been modified to include this guide.
This document contains some png image files. If any of these png files are modified
they should be replaced with an svg file.
This is the sixth document from a set of 6 documents.
