Would it be possible to extract all similar code and make it use 
eal_memseg_list_init? For example, in FreeBSD eal_memory.c in nohuge 
mode (or in Linux legacy mem) the code remains untouched. I wonder if it 
can be ported to using this function.

The log message looks odd here. Maybe change it to indicate that the kB 
value is the page size, not the size of the memory?

Perhaps add a log message saying that space was allocated for this 
memseg list?
