Should the above read as "does NOT describe" .. ?

Few comments below, assuming agree on those, add my Ack on v2?
Checked, -ENOMEM and -EALREADY are returned today, which seem
better descriptive terms. Thanks for fixing,

Here we set rte_errno as -ret, as in rte_service_init() we return the
negative, e.g. -ENOMEM.
Perhaps it is cleaner to to return ENOMEM from rte_service_init(), and avoid
the duplicate negation?
rte_service_init() is not exported publicly in the .map file, so is internal
only, and hence not an ABI break.
