[Bug 1557532] [NEW] dpdk fails to use 1G huge pages depending on the available mountpoints

[ChristianEhrhardt]

Public bug reported:

EAL: 6 hugepages of size 1073741824 reserved, but no mounted hugetlbfs found for that size
EAL: No free hugepages reported in hugepages-2048kB

That can happen if:
- one configures ONLY 1G pages
and
- the default hugepage size is not 1G

That would be a lack of our dpdk-init script, but actually even when mounting a 1G mountpoint it fails.
It needs to be debugged in what way it expects a non-default size hugepage mount and then provided by dpdk init scripts OR fixed in dpdk code.
