-Backported from this discussion
-http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/12103/
-Not accepted yet, but likely to be accepted in some form once tested and
-confirmed.
-
-Update 2016-05-17:
-Moving to 16.04 this now applies as-is without modifications, dropping the
-former backport changes.
-
-Also along the discussion vserver-fh is now initialized with -1 to avoid
-accidentially deleting the first connected port if we delete another not yet
-connected port.

-
-Author: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>

-    lpm: fix freeing in compatibility mode
-
-    Back then when we fixed the missing free lpm I was to quickly to say yes
-    if it applies not only to the lpm6 but also to all of the lpm code.
-
-    It turned out to not apply to all of them. In rte_lpm_create_v20 there
-    is an unexpected fused allocation:
-    mem_size = sizeof(*lpm) + (sizeof(lpm->rules_tbl[0]) * max_rules);
-    [...]
-    lpm = (struct rte_lpm_v20 *)rte_zmalloc_socket(mem_name,mem_size,
-                   RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE, socket_id);
-
-    That causes lpm->rules_tbl not to have an own struct malloc_elem that
-    can be derived via RTE_PTR_SUB(data, MALLOC_ELEM_HEADER_LEN) in
-    malloc_elem_from_data.
-    Due to that the rte_lpm_free_v20 accidentially misderives the elem and
-    assumes it is ELEM_FREE triggering in malloc_elem_free
-    if (!malloc_elem_cookies_ok(elem) || elem->state !=
-            return -1;
-
-    While it seems counter-intuitive the way to properly remove rules_tbl in
-    the old fused allocation style of rte_lpm_free_v20 is to not remove it.
-
-    The newer rte_lpm_free_v1604 is safe because in rte_lpm_create_v1604
-    rules_tbl is a separate allocation.
-
-    Fixes: d4c18f0a1d5d ("lpm: fix missing free")
