Instead of enumerating a kernel version, this should be designed as an
enumeration of feature sets.  That way you can enable DPDK features based on
kernel feature availability (i.e. kernel version doesn't necessecarily imply
feature set, like when a distribution backports a given feature to an older
kernel.

What would really make the most sense I think is to convert the configuration
system to autoconf/automake, so that these tests can be preformed at config
time.
