I know DPDK relies on this feature. It relies on the /proc interface? That's the first I've ever heard of that -- everybody so far has only been interested in the sysfs stuff. Nothing's more broken than before, because we've never supported the /proc interface, but if existing arm64 code out there is failing because of that then I'm of course open to supporting it. I'm just surprised that nobody else has come up with that before, since DPDK is in common use. Can you point me at the specific code, please? Will
