Excellent!

It really shows how bloated DPDK CORE still is. I would like to see =
these go optional:

acl - OPTIONAL
cmdline - OPTIONAL (if not used by EAL)
eal - CORE
ethdev - CORE, or OPTIONAL for secondary process
fib - OPTIONAL
hash - OPTIONAL (if not used by CORE libs)
kvargs - OPTIONAL (if not used by EAL)
log - CORE
lpm - OPTIONAL
mbuf - CORE
mempool - CORE
meter - OPTIONAL
net - CORE
pci - CORE, or OPTIONAL for secondary process
rcu - OPTIONAL (if not used by CORE libs)
rib - OPTIONAL
ring - CORE
stack - OPTIONAL (if not used by CORE libs)
telemetry - OPTIONAL
timer - OPTIONAL (if not used by CORE libs)

Anyway,
