Re: [PATCH v6 00/26] linux/eal: Remove most causes of panic on init

Hi,

Thanks for the work.
I think it needs to be completed to have the same behaviour on bsdapp.

As a another version is required, I add some small comments about
the formatting.

I think you should use the form "do not panic on <step>" for most
of the commits.

Some commits may be squashed (see below):
