Hi, I'm updating to 18.11 from 17.03, and I noticed there a several new
warnings printing on startup in my primary process:

It appears by searching the mailing list that this problem is not very
common since it's fairly new. Does anyone know what can cause this? I have
ASLR disabled.

4K pages vs huge-pages? It looks like the left-hand addresses are
4K-aligned, while the right-hand ones are not.

Not sure how that is happening. 1GB hugepages are enabled on boot, and
that's the only one allocated:
$ ls /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/
hugepages-1048576kB
$ mount
...
nodev on /mnt/huge type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,pagesize=1024M)
Any idea where the 4K alignment is coming from?

I was able to trace down this issue to a particular function call I was
making on a closed-source library that scans the PCIe bus. I don't know why
it was causing it, since I can't see what it's doing. However, if I remove
that function call, the warnings go away completely. If I add it back, it
comes back reliably. For anyone else reading this, try moving your
rte_eal_init earlier in your startup to see if there's a particular
function causing it.
