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).

I worry that some of these early failure messages may never be visible
because the logging system has not been initialized. Might be safer to
just use fprintf(stderr, ...) or define a new wrapper function.

Thanks for the suggestion, Stephen!  I've folded it into my series.
