[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] eal: initialize alarms early

> To fix it, we initialize alarms before starting to

> rte_eal_alarm_init() right after rte_eal_intr_init() as
> it makes some sense to keep those two close to each other.
> 
> We update the bsd code as well to keep the initialization
> order the same in both eal implementations.
