Modern memory mode allowes to not reserve any memory by the

zero preallocated memory like '--socket-mem 0'.
Also, it should be possible to configure unlimited memory

Both cases are impossible now and blocks starting the DPDK

./dpdk-app --socket-limit 0 <...>

That's kind of an odd parameter to pass, as it is assumed that if you
don't need any limitations or preallocated memory, you don't specify
these flags in the first place, but OK :)
