>From cover letter for this patch:

This patch proposes the addition of an API which allows an application to
query the attributes of a service lcore.  It adds one such new attribute,
named "loops", which is a counter that tracks the number of times the service
core has looped in the service runner function (the driver function that
invokes services mapped to a service core).  This is useful to applications
that desire a "liveness" check to make sure a service core is not stuck.


When sending a single patch it is not required to send with --cover-letter.

I like the description provided in the cover letter, perhaps merge the
current commit message with the cover-letter paragraph?

For the v2, please include
