[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 1/6] build: increase default of max lcores to 512

[David Hunt]

Modern processors are coming with an ever increasing number of cores,
and 128 does not seem like a sensible max limit any more, especially
when you consider multi-socket systems with Hyper-Threading enabled.

This patch increases max_lcores default from 128 to 512.
