Sorry I missed some of the development for this - I think it's better to
have the dpdk version retrieved via an appctl command.  I can't think of
a need for this information to be persistent - if it's for historical
information when debugging, we can put it in with the logs when dpdk is
started.  The user cannot influence DPDK version dynamically - it is not
just read-only, but it's read-only from a compile time decision.  I
might be misunderstanding the point of putting this in the DB, though?
