This patch is for 18.05 and implements changes referenced in the deprecation notice[1]. (not yet merged as of this writing)
This patchset breaks the EAL ABI and bumps its version. This is arguably OK as memory changes will change a lot in EAL and thus likely break ABI anyway. However, two other alternative implementations are possible: 1) local static variable recording number of detected sockets. This is arguably less clean approach, but will not break the ABI and will have relatively little impact on the codebase. 2) keeping ABI compatibility, as shown in v3 of this patch [2]. My preference would be to keep this one.
