Re: [PATCH v2 00/25] linux/eal: Remove most causes of panic on init

In many cases, it's enough to simply let the application know that the
call to initialize DPDK has failed.  A complete halt can then be
decided by the application based on error returned (and the app could
even attempt a possible re-attempt after some corrective action by the
user or application).

Changes ->v2:
- Audited all "RTE_LOG (" calls that were introduced, and converted
  to "RTE_LOG("
- Added some fprintf(stderr, "") lines to indicate errors before logging
  is initialized
- Removed assignments to errno.
- Changed patch 14/25 to reflect EFAULT, and document in 25/25

I kept the rte_errno reflection, since this is control-path code and the
init function returns a sentinel value of -1.
I got 3 new checkpatch warnings that seem to have missed my local commit
hook.  I'll fix them up and send a new series in-reply to this one.

Sorry for the noise.
