Hi Keith,

Thanks for that. It is a very good addition. 

However, there is one do build warning:


    $ make doc-guides-html 
    sphinx processing guides-html...
    /work/dpdk_docs/doc/guides/faq/faq.rst:58: WARNING: Title underline too short.

    If I execute "l2fwd -l 0-3 -m 64 -n 3 -- -p 3", I get the following output, indicating that there are no socket 0 hugepages to allocate the mbuf and ring structures to?
