Pages smaller than 1GB will mean the dpdkr ports won't work as the ring 
structures
and the mempools get spread over multiple smaller pages. In qemu we only share
up one 1G huge page. This can be fixed but it is quite complex as you need to 
use the dpdk ivshmem target. Perhaps you should update the documentation to 
reflect
this restriction.
