Hi Thomas,

I just tried it with the HEAD via pwclient and it applies cleanly:

    $ git pull origin
    Already up-to-date.

    $ pwclient git-am 4915
    Applying patch #4915 using 'git am'
    Description: [dpdk-dev,v2] eal: Allow combining -m and --no-huge
    Applying: eal: Allow combining -m and --no-huge

John.
