Sorry, I lost track of this patch.
Great and thorough explanation, but I don't think it needs to be so long.
Suggestion:

	On Windows, -l/--lcores EAL option was unable to process CPU sets
	containing CPUs other than 0 and 1, because CPU_COUNT() macro
	only checked these CPUs in the set. Fix CPU_COUNT() by enumerating
	all possible CPU indices.

Whatever message is taken in the end,
