I checked your patch, and I got this:

...

EAL: Detected lcore 38 as core 11 on socket 1
EAL: Detected lcore 39 as core 12 on socket 1
EAL: Support maximum 64 logical core(s) by configuration.
EAL: Detected 40 lcore(s)
./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/test: unrecognized option '--prefix=whitelist'

Also, I thought we could not run two primary process at the same time 
(considering that the test app is a primary process).

Thanks,
Pablo
