 .repeated depends on CONFIG_RTE_EAL_SIGLE_FILE_SEGMENTS. By the way, looks like it does the same thing as you are trying to do with --single-file, but with hugepages, doesn't it? I see it's currently used by ivshmem (which is AFAIK very immature and half-abandoned).
 Or should we just move .repeated out of the #ifdef ?
