The one hour between your comment and the release of RC4 did not give me a reasonable amount of time to address your concerns. I also feel that the lack of comments in the last month should mean that the patch should be applied as is. If changes are required, I am happy to address in the next release. 

You're right, I'm very sorry not taking time to review it before.
I think only the first patch should be integrated, without the comment for
RTE_CONFIG_TEMPLATE.
Opinion?
