[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 02/10] eal: use --base-virtaddr for mapping rte_config as well

[Anatoly Burakov <anatoly.burakov@intel.com>]

Use --base-virtaddr to set the address of rte_config file along with
start address of the hugepages. Since the user would likely expect
the hugepages to be starting at the specified address, the specified
address will likely be rounded to either 2M or 1G. So, in order to
not waste space, we subtract the length of the config (and align it
on page boundary) from the base virtual address and map the config
just before the hugepages.
