Hi Keith,

> The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be
> promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch series
> adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option.
> 
> The patch series doc change only and is not required to be done
> in 17.02 release, but should be added to the 17.05 release.
> The -c option will be kept and not removed for now unless in the
> future we decide to deprecate the code.
> 
> v2 - Fix taskset back to using -c

In case you make new revisions, I think you can squash every patches
in a single one. They are all doing the same thing in different files.
