[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 08/10] eal: add minimum viable code for eal on windows

[Thomas Monjalon]

I think the change below is bad because it is exposing an internal
function in a header file which may be included by apps.
I know you are still looking for pthread integration solutions,
so we can discuss how to fix it later.

Note that there is already an EAL function to create normal threads:
	rte_ctrl_thread_create()
You may want a similar function for dataplane threads perhaps.
