This set of patch permits to use the --no-huge option to create valid mempools.
However, drivers necessitating a physically contiguous memory larger than a standard
page won't work in this mode.
Only vmxnet3-usermap will work in this mode among the available open source PMD.

This can be useful for old kernels (< 2.6.33) and VM with limited amount of mempory.
