[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7] app/pdump: add pudmp exits with primary support

[mousuanming]

Ah, yes!
I'm so sorry that I have left the company today. It's not able to update the patch now.
I think it will be done tomorrow.
Thanks again for your suggestions enriched that simple patch.
(May the reply on mobile phone won't break any mail formats)
