+ * @file
+ * RTE Memzone
+ *
+ * The goal of the memzone allocator is to reserve contiguous
+ * portions of physical memory. These zones are identified by a name.
+ *
+ * The memzone descriptors are shared by all partitions and are
+ * located in a known place of physical memory. This zone is accessed
+ * using rte_eal_get_configuration(). The lookup (by name) of a
+ * memory zone can be done in any partition and returns the same
+ * physical address.
+ *
+ * A reserved memory zone cannot be unreserved. The reservation shall
+ * be done at initialization time only.
