ithout%20root
statement: 'with a number of small permission adjustments, it is possible to
run these applications as a user other than =E2=80=9Croot=E2=80=9D. '

link 2:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/enable_func.html?highlight=3Dwithout%2=
0root
statement: since version 4.0, the kernel does not allow unprivileged proces=
ses
to read the physical address information from the pagemaps file, making it
impossible for those processes to use HW devices which require physical
addresses

Can we either have 1 link for this or update both place with kernel 4.0 iss=
ue.
