Subject: [PATCH v4] doc: use corelist instead of coremask

The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be
promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch
adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option.

The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option
will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c
option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.

Hi Keith,

Thanks for that. It is a very good addition. 

However, there is one do build warning:


    $ make doc-guides-html 
    sphinx processing guides-html...
    /work/dpdk_docs/doc/guides/faq/faq.rst:58: WARNING: Title underline too short.

    If I execute "l2fwd -l 0-3 -m 64 -n 3 -- -p 3", I get the following output, indicating that there are no socket 0 hugepages to allocate the mbuf and ring structures to?
