As has been suggested [1], all DPDK runtime paths should be put into a single place. This patchset accomplishes exactly that.
If running as root, all files will be put under /var/run/dpdk/<prefix>, otherwise they will be put under $XDG_RUNTIME_PATH/dpdk/<prefix>, or, if that environment variable is not defined, all files will go under /tmp/dpdk/<prefix>.
