[Bug 1551601] Re: DPDK init scripts need some hardening against broken specifications in /etc/dpdk/interfaces

[ChristianEhrhardt]

dpdk (2.2.0-0ubuntu4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * harden d/dpdk-init for configuration issues (LP: #1551601):
     - detect and warn about bad bus specifications
     - detect and warn about incomplete device specifications
     - detect and warn about non existing pci IDs
     - d/t/test-initscripts now testing various misconfigs
     - d/t/test-initscripts now also verifying service status
  * d/dpdk-init d/dpdk.conf now also support 1G hugepages (LP: #1551767):
     - detect and warn if 1G pages are not available but configured
     - d/t/test-initscripts now also testing hugepage allocations
     - d/dpdk.conf has an option to drop caches to incease the likeliness of
       successful 1G hugepage allocations (default off)
  * d/rules replaced uname -m with DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU (LP: #1551796):
  * fix testpmd to run without Xen environment (LP: #1551752):
     - upstream discussion is slow, but we need a fix now. We can drop this
       and change to the upstream solution when it is available.
  * unify whitespace/tabs in packaging and scripts
     - tabs/spaces to just spaces in d/dpdk-init and d/dpdk.init
     - few to tabs in d/rules
  * d/t/test-* now satisfy shellcheck
  * d/* fix various comments and guides to be more readable
  * d/dpdk-init and d/copyright updated copyright information

** Patch added: "upload for 2.2.0-0ubuntu4 fixing LP: #1551601, #1551767, #1551796, #1551752"
