> +* Create a named heap
> +* Add memory area(s) to the heap

> +* Get socket ID used for the heap
> +* Use normal DPDK allocation procedures, using supplied socket ID
> +* If memory area is no longer needed, it can be removed from the heap
> +  * Other processes must detach from this memory area before it can be

Hi Anatoly,

Im getting an error when doing 

make-doc-guides-html

/dpdk/doc/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.rst:241: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
/dpdk/doc/guides/prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.rst:242: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

This is due to the indentation of your inner bullet points instead of two spaces put 4
For all four that you have.

Thanks,
Marko K
