If the user inputs a number of KBs that is not a power of two, this will fail with a generic error message of " EAL: Cannot allocate worker lcore stack memory." A check for this occurrence with a more descriptive error message and a note in the documentation would be good to include.
Good point.  Alignment to stack size is not necessary.  I'll post a new 
version that only requires cache line alignment.
