Thanks, it makes sense. I'll get around to it "eventually".

Hello,

While looking at Seastar, I see it uses this patch on top of DPDK:

        build: add meson options of max_memseg_lists

        RTE_MAX_MEMSEG_LISTS = 128 is not enough for high-memory machines,
        in our case, we need to increase it to 8192.
        so add an option so user can override it.

I think we could allow to configure this at runtime,
as we did already for RTE_MAX_MEMZONE:
we've added rte_memzone_max_set() / rte_memzone_max_get().

Opinions, comments, volunteers?
