I did not investigate much about existing logging system. I agree
that could be a good alternative too.
On the other hand, I'm not really confident in adding a dependency to
an external lib for a core component like eal. What if we deicide
tomorrow to port dpdk to windows or any baremetal env?
Also, as far as I remember, the components that depend on external
libraries are disabled today because we don't know how to properly
manage the dependency (ex: pmd-pcap, vhost-numa, pmd-mlx, ...).
