We have two series for fixing related issues.

Stephen alternative patch 1 handles Anatoly fix here.
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=29449&state=%2A&archive=both

I see Anatoly was acked by Mattias and Morten, though Stephen
(RTE_DIM) fix is more elegant.
How do you guys want me to proceed?


Thanks.
