[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 2/6] Move common functions in eal.c

[Ravi Kerur <rkerur@gmail.com>]

Changes in v7
Fix clang and ICC compilation errors.

Changes in v6
Split eal_common_system.c and eal_common_runtime.c into
eal_common_sysfs.c
eal_common_mem_cfg.c
eal_common_proc_type.c
eal_comm_app_usage.c
based on functionality.

Changes in v5
Rebase to latest code.

Changes in v4
Remove eal_externs.h file, instead use  _get_ and _set_ APIS
to access those variables.
Split eal_common.c into eal_common_system.c and
and eal_common_runtime.c
rte_eal prefix functions are moved to _runtime_ and
eal prefix functions are moved to _system_ files respectively.

Changes in v3
Changed subject to be more explicit on file name inclusion.

Changes in v2
In function rte_eal_config_create remove #ifdef _BSDAPP_
and initialize mem_cfg_addr unconditionally.

Changes in v1
Move common functions in eal.c to librte_eal/common/eal_common.c.

Following functions are moved to eal_common.c file.

struct rte_config *rte_eal_get_configuration(void);
int eal_parse_sysfs_value(const char *filename, unsigned long *val);
static void rte_eal_config_create(void);
enum rte_proc_type_t eal_proc_type_detect(void);
void rte_eal_config_init(void);
rte_usage_hook_t rte_set_application_usage_hook(rte_usage_hook_t
usage_func);
inline size_t eal_get_hugepage_mem_size(void);
void eal_check_mem_on_local_socket(void);
int sync_func(__attribute__((unused)) void *arg);
inline void rte_eal_mcfg_complete(void);
int rte_eal_has_hugepages(void);
enum rte_lcore_role_t rte_eal_lcore_role(unsigned lcore_id);
enum rte_proc_type_t rte_eal_process_type(void);

Makefile changes to reflect new files added.
Fix checkpatch warnings and errors.
