[dpdk-dev] WARNING! Base virtual address hint not respected!

[Nilesh]

Hello,

We are trying to build an application over DPDK, but we are getting this 
warning when we call
rte_eal_init().

EAL: Detected 24 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 2 NUMA nodes
EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket

rte_eal_init() is returning successfully, but we wanted to know why this 
warning is coming and
what are the potential issues that may arise due to this warning.

Note: NIC is bound with igb_uio. Hugepages are mapped and there are 
enough free pages.
