[dpdk-dev] dpdk config on VM

[Srinivasreddy R]

hi ,
The below error is because invalid coremask , your VM has only one core ,
but you are trying to assign  eal option as -c 0xf that means you are
assigning 1,2,3,4 cores to dpdk application which are not available in your
VM .
you can increase sufficient number of cores while u launch virtual machine .

please check EAL options for dpdk before proceeding .
