Hi,

This is normal. This happens because, by default, shared memory in EAL 
is mapped starting at a specific memory offset due to certain issues 
with DPDK's multiprocess support. Sometimes these offsets will not be 
available, so things will get mapped at other addresses. Because this 
event may cause issues with subsequent secondary process mappings, EAL 
warns about this on initialization.

If you're not using secondary processes, you may disregard this warning.

Thanks,
Anatoly
