Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] service cores: coremask parsing
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.7.4

Add logic for parsing a coremask from EAL, which allows
the application to be unaware of the cores being taken from
its coremask.

Missing the --help update for service coremask details.

I think, EAL arguments are documented in another area of doc directory
as well. Update the documents.

Why not to use rte_service_lcore_add(idx) here. So that in future some
changes we don't need to touch this file.

I added following code in unit testcase and I have 8 cores system. So I
was expecting cores prints from "0 3 4 5 6 7" as lcore 1 and 2 will be
stolen by service core. But it looks like RTE_LCORE_FOREACH not honoring
previous rte_service_lcore_add() functions.

testsuite_setup(void)
{
+       int i;
+       rte_service_lcore_add(1);
+       rte_service_lcore_add(2);
+
+       RTE_LCORE_FOREACH(i)
+               printf("cores %d\n", i);
