Thank you, the intent is clear now. It is worth adding to the commit log.
On the implementation: eal_get_baseaddr() does not respect --base-virtaddr,
you probably want something like what eal_get_virtual_area() uses:

	internal_conf->base_virtaddr != 0 ?
		internal_conf->base_virtaddr : eal_get_baseaddr()
