The default behavior of DPDK is to wait the creation of /dev/uioX devices. This work is usually done by hotplug thanks to the kernel notification.
On some embedded systems, there is no hotplug program. These 2 patches introduce a new EAL option "--create-uio-dev" that tells the DPDK to create the /dev/uioX devices using mknod().
