So the reverted commit is supposed to work?
I won't apply this revert until I fully understand what happens.

The patch that I sent up was to remove an "unrecognized option telemetry" warning  message, which the patch removed and was tested to ensure the message was removed. Further testing, after the patch was sent up, revealed that the unix domain socket, which is required by telemetry consumers, was no longer being created, rendering the telemetry functionality non-functional. 
On further investigation, the full fix involves a change in the EAL command line parameter handling, which is probably too risky for RC3. 
This revert will allow telemetry to function again, but with the erroneous message still in place.
We will aim to fix in the next release.
