  Following "options parsing" patchset (commit d7cb626f and 489a9d6c), core
detection is not working correctly on bsd.

./x86_64-native-bsdapp-gcc/app/test -c f -n 4 -- -i
[...]
EAL: lcore 0 unavailable
EAL: invalid coremask

Align bsd to linux:
- commit f563a372 "eal: fix recording of detected/enabled logical cores"
- commit 4f04db8b "eal: check coremask against detected lcores"

Though, that said, why are these files diverged in the first place?  At least as
far as eal_lcore.c and eal.c are concerned the only differences appear to be
cases of one file being updated and not the other.  It seems that, rather than
doing a patch like this to bring bsd up to date with linux, we should just
de-dup the files, put them in a common location and handle any real behavioral
differences with macros/ifdefs.  Is there a reason for separating them?

I agree that there should only be one file for those things (and a lot of
other stuff like eal_debug, eal_log etc...).
This is not that easy: I tried once and gave up because the resulting
patchset was huge.
Personally, I don't have time to dig into this.

No one ever does, thats how messes like this happen :)

I've got a bsd guest installed, I'll see if I can clean it up.
