9.2Release DPDK 1.6.0

Ok

I have figured this one out ;-)

When you do

kldload ./contigmem.ko

It trys to malloc up a chunk of memory (1Gig it looks by default).. and if a
contiguious piece of memory is not available.. it fails.. which causes the
failure back to kldload that says “Exec format error”.

Not very descriptive, turns out you have to dig into /var/log/messages to
figure out what is really happening ;-)
