The primary driver was that the autotest binary could not be called "test" any more, since that is a reserved name. When appending a dpdk prefix to the test binary, I felt for consistency that other binaries should have a dpdk prefix too, to indicate that they come from DPDK. If this is a problem, we can remove the prefix from the binaries easily enough. /Bruce
