[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/3] mem: improve autodetection of hugepage counts on 32-bit

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

For non-legacy mode, we are preallocating space for hugepages, so
we know in advance which pages we will be able to allocate, and
which we won't. However, the init procedure was using hugepage
counts gathered from sysfs and paid no attention to hugepage
sizes that were actually available for reservation, and failed
on attempts to reserve unavailable pages.

Fix this by limiting total page counts by number of pages
actually preallocated.
