[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 10/41] eal: add "single file segments" command-line option

[Anatoly Burakov]

For now, this option does nothing, but it will be useful in
dynamic memory allocation down the line. Currently, DPDK stores
all pages as separate files in hugetlbfs. This option will allow
storing all pages in one file (one file per socket, per page size).
