Adrian posted an alternative patch before you to support dynamic
logging. Moreover, Adrian patch makes the data path logs to be compiled
out by default, which is better from performance point of view.

This is last version of Adrian's patch:
http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/63565/

I propose to drop your patch and pick Adrian's instead.

Thanks,
Maxime
