[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v4 2/2] eal: use base address hint to reserve space for mem config

[Anatoly Burakov <anatoly.burakov@intel.com>]

Currently, mem config will be mapped without using the virtual
area reservation infrastructure, which means it will be mapped
at an arbitrary location. This may cause failures to map the
shared config in secondary process due to things like PCI
whitelist arguments allocating memory in a space where the
primary has allocated the shared mem config.

Fix this by using virtual area reservation to reserve space for
the mem config, thereby avoiding the problem and reserving the
shared config (hopefully) far away from any normal memory
allocations.

Notes:
    v4:
    - Fix mem config length to always be page-aligned
    
    v3:
    - Fix alignment issues with base address
    
    v2:
    - Fix issue with unneeded ADDR_IS_HINT flag that broke things
      on 32-bit builds
