  Currently, each EAL will update internal/shared config in their
own way at init, resulting in needless duplication of code and
OS-dependent behavior. Move the functions to a common file and
add missing FreeBSD steps.

Hum, you swapped eal_mcfg_update_internal and eal_mcfg_update_from_internal.
The names are a bit ambiguous, and I wonder if we really need those
separate helpers.

rte_eal_config_create and rte_eal_config_attach are already awfully close
in linux and freebsd implementation.
Can't we have them as common code and put those helpers bits direct in them
?

Replying to myself... at least those helpers try to do something
explicitly: synchronising the local copy of the configuration with the
shared mem config.
Keeping them separate documents this step.

Anyway, your choice, but you must fix freebsd :-)

Sorry, i don't follow - what needs to be fixed in FreeBSD?
