About this change and previous ones, I think we may miss some
documentation about the usage and the internal design of the DPDK
memory allocation.
You already updated some doc recently:
	http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=b31739328

This is what we have currently:
	http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.html#memory-segments-and-memory-zones-memzone
	http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.html#malloc
	http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/mempool_lib.html

This is probably a good time to check this doc again.
Do you think it deserves more explanations, or maybe some figures?
