I've been looking at dpdk_early_init. I think the only purpose of this function 
is to fail early and unload the plugin. I'm curious how important this might be 
(cant the user just disable it?) and if there might be some way to make it 
optional?

The use case i'm looking at is for testing dpdk crypto w/o root access. More 
broadly, aren't there other times when (e.g., when no physical devices are 
being used -- is this the case when "no-pci" is configured) it would be fine 
for dpdk to be used w/o pagemap access? I don't think the code has access to 
startup config this early to see if the user has configured things correctly, 
but if it does, could we check that before failing?

Thanks,
Chris.
