[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] memory: do not use base-virtaddr in secondary processes

[Dariusz Stojaczyk <dariuszx.stojaczyk@intel.com>]

Since secondary process' address space is highly dictated
by the primary process' mappings, it doesn't make much
sense to use base-virtaddr for secondary processes.

This patch is intended to fix PCI resource mapping
in secondary processes using the same base-virtaddr
as their primary processes. PCI uses the end of the hugepage
memory area to map all resources. [pci_find_max_end_va()]
It works for primary processes, but can't be mapped 1:1
by secondary ones, as the same addresses are currently always
occupied by shadow memseg lists, which were created with
eal_get_virtual_area(NULL, ...).

```
PRIMARY PROCESS
0x6e00e00000    388K rw-s- fbarray_memseg-2048k-1-3
0x6e01000000 16777216K r----   [ anon ]
0x7201000000     16K rw-s- resource0

SECONDARY PROCESS
0x6e00e00000    388K rw-s- fbarray_memseg-2048k-1-3
0x6e01000000 16777216K r----   [ anon ]
0x7201000000      4K rw-s- fbarray_memseg-1048576k-0-0_203213
```
