Well, I understand this is not clean, but this patch breaks the API.

Missed a few places:

# should probably not access lcore_config directly...
examples/bond/main.c:           if
(lcore_config[global_flag_stru_p->LcoreMainCore].state != WAIT)      {
examples/bond/main.c:   if (lcore_config[slave_core_id].state != WAIT)

# BSD must have trouble building
lib/librte_eal/freebsd/eal/eal.c:               lcore_config[i].state =
WAIT;
