I tried to fix many english typos. Please consider it during reviews. Cunming, you'll repeat 10 times "non-EAL threads compute more than none" ;) Applied, thanks My main concern in this patchset is about naming. Now lcore means thread in many places. I would prefer to have a cleanup to use right term at right place, even if it requires breaking API. Are we going to deprecate the fresh option -l in favor of --lcores/--threads?
