Intel recently released DPDK also for FreeBSD, so it may be worth
referring explicitly to Linux DPDK in INSTALL.DPDK (until we can port
/ test it on FreeBSD).

Most of the existing DPDK docs also assume Linux, but I assume this
will be updated over time.  The FreeBSD DPDK getting started guide is
here:
