Hi Yaron,

Thanks for your patch. Please see DPDK contribution guidelines[1] [2] on 
how to properly send patches to DPDK community.

In short, the following three things will need to be fixed before we are 
able to consider this patch for inclusion into DPDK codebase:

1) We will need developer certification of origin (a Sign-off) before we 
can accept any code into DPDK
2) Patch will have to be properly formatted using git-format-patch and 
preferably sent via git-send-email
3) Patch will have to have a descriptive commit message
