> A bit of a pity when you get a system with more than 200+ cores and your

> David Marchand (4):

>   eal: display all detected cores at startup
>   eal: remove limitation on cpuset with --lcores

The patches look good but it is very hard to review parsing code (last patch).
We will better experience corner cases after merging.

Applied for -rc1, thanks
