I've tested Sonarcloud, they are saying DPDK stinks (22000 code smells
flagged) :-)

It seems the main "security" issues it highlights are the usage of
sprintf, strcpy and strcat. They can probably be easily filtered out.

The job on Travis takes about half an hour, so perhaps it's better as a
weekly run.

Integration is quite simple, based on the yet unmerged Travis patch:
