OK, I'll fix these issues.

I used the pcap PMD driver with file input, basically

  ./test-dpdk --no-huge -m 1024 -l 0,1 -n3 --vdev
'eth_pcap0,rx_pcap=/tmp/eth-out.pcap,tx_pcap=/tmp/eth0.pcap'

this patch allows me to run this as myself (i.e., not root)

Sorry about that, I stashed it and forgot about it for a while, and then
just re-made the commit. (Not only that: I lost the reply in the flood
of DPDK mails, so sort of what I was complaining about in the first place!)


Anyway, I'll update the patch and resend.
