Hi Daniel,

This works but this variable is a nuance and adding free() for this it
into main eal features fail path looks like noise.

Initially, do we need to strdup this variable at all?
What will happen if logid fed into rte_eal_log_init() without strdup?
Since it is const char *, I guess the string is just for read and
content won't be changed so it should be OK I guess.

If above is not right, what about creating a static variable and use it
instead of dynamically allocating the logid, what do you think?

Thanks,
ferruh
