This series is small enough to be merged.
However, in the long term, we should not have this kind of library in DPDK.

librte_cfgfile is used by the examples ip_pipeline and qos_sched.
I think the purpose of an example is to show some simple code demonstrating
a feature.
Examples using a configuration file are closer to a complete application.

Anyway, why not use an external library like this one?
