[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] replaced O(n^2) sort in sort_by_physaddr() with qsort() from standard library

Thanks to some help from Matthew Hall, it looks like I have it working now.
I just resent the patch directly from git. Please let me know if it looks
ok now?

Sorry for the hassles. We use Mercurial internally, so while there is a lot
of overlap, sending patches isn't something I have to worry about
day-to-day. Appreciate the help getting things configured!
