Building with a DPDK network backend

1. Setup host to compile DPDK:
   • Ubuntu sudo apt-get install -y build-essential linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)
2. Configure the project with DPDK enabled: ./configure.py --mode=release --enable-dpdk
3. Run ninja-build build/release.

To run with the DPDK backend for a native stack give the seastar application --dpdk-pmd 1 parameter.

You can also configure DPDK as an external package.
