Thanks Pavan, for catching these, will fix.

Yes it is necessary but insufficient.

IMO,
If the application is controlling core masks, the application flow at 
startup looks like:

rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_create(id,..)
...
rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_start(id)
if (!rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_service_id_get(id, &service_id)) {
	rte_service_lcore_add(rx_lcore_id);
         rte_service_map_lcore_set(service_id, rx_lcore_id, 1);
	rte_service_lcore_start(rx_lcore_id)
}

Since rte_service_start_with_defaults() is invoked before the adapter is 
created, how would it get assigned a core etc ?
