Hello,

The memnic code is not updated since 2014-09-30. I am not sure if it got 
replaced by something else in OVS or just fell asleep.

But I think that is why you are getting so insanely many errors, it fell 
too far behind DPDK to work.

If you can find an old DPDK released around this time listed here it 
might help narrow down if that might be the root cause:

http://dpdk.org/browse/memnic/log/

However a DPDK that old will probably fail to build due to kernel 
version issues.

Matthew.
