Nothing uses this code yet. The bulk of it is copied from old
memory allocation code (linuxapp eal_memory.c). We provide an
EAL-internal API to allocate either one page or multiple pages,
guaranteeing that we'll get contiguous VA for all of the pages
that we requested.
Not supported on FreeBSD.
Locking is done via fcntl() because that way, when it comes to
taking out write locks or unlocking on deallocation, we don't
have to keep original fd's around. Plus, using fcntl() gives us
ability to lock parts of a file, which is useful for single-file
segments, which are coming down the line.

The EAL and compat libraries were special-cases in the library build
process, the former because of it's complexity, and the latter because
it only consists of a single header file.
By reworking the EAL meson.build files, we can eliminate the need for it to
be a special case, by having it build up and return the list of sources,
headers, and objects and return those to the higher level build file. This
should also simplify the building of EAL, as we can eliminate a number of
meson.build files that would no longer be needed, and have fewer, but
larger meson.build files (9 now vs 14 previous) - thereby making the logic
easier to follow and items easier to find.
Once done, we can pull eal into the main library loop, with some
modifications to support it. Compat can also be pulled it once we add in a
check to handle the case of an empty sources list.

DPDK has an optional dependency on libnuma, so manage that through the
build system, by dynamically detecting the presence of the needed library
and header files. Since this library is used by both EAL and vhost, check
for the presence at the top level in the config directory.

Instead of hard-coding the install path of generic and exec-env headers
use the includedir option, so that it can be correctly overridden.

Normally, each library has it's own version number based on the ABI.
Add an option to have all libs just use the DPDK version number as the
.so version.

Support building the EAL with meson and ninja. This involves a number of
different meson.build files for iterating through all the different
subdirectories in the EAL. The library itself will be compiled on build but
the header files are only copied from their initial location once "ninja
install" is run. Instead, we use meson dependency tracking to ensure that
other libraries which use the EAL headers can find them in their original
locations.
Note: this does not include building kernel modules on either BSD or Linux
