The internal structure of lcore_config is no longer be part of
visible API/ABI. Make it private to EAL.
Rearrange and resize the fields in the structure so it takes
less memory (and cache footprint).

Everything but cpuset can fit in a cache line.
You could just move the cpuset field at the end of the structure and
change detected to uint8_t.
This gives the following layout:
struct lcore_config {
pthread_t thread_id; /* 0 8 */
int pipe_master2slave[2]; /* 8 8 */
int pipe_slave2master[2]; /* 16 8 */
volatile lcore_function_t * f; /* 24 8 */
volatile void * arg; /* 32 8 */
volatile int ret; /* 40 4 */
volatile enum rte_lcore_state_t state; /* 44 4 */
unsigned int socket_id; /* 48 4 */
unsigned int core_id; /* 52 4 */
int core_index; /* 56 4 */
uint8_t detected; /* 60 1 */
uint8_t core_role; /* 61 1 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
rte_cpuset_t cpuset; /* 64 128 */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */
/* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 13 */
/* sum members: 190, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
};
The resulting structure is only two bytes bigger than your proposal
and does not touch existing integer types (avoiding the risk of some
integer conversion on socket_id for example).

There are still changes on the core_id, core_index, socket_id that I
am not confortable with (at this point).
I prepared a series for -rc1 on ABI changes in EAL (that I will send shortly).
I took your patch without the changes on core_id, core_index and socket_id.
We can discuss those changes later, thanks.

Why, please be more precise.
Do you expect to support more than 32 bit worth of cores?

I commented earlier that there were integer conversion with the fields
you changed.
core_id is ok, and a uint32_t would be fine, but this does not change the size.
socket_id needs investigation, but should be safe.
I am nervous about core_index, because it is used as a signed integer.
It looks too dangerous to blindly accept this change with the only
reason of saving space.
