title: How to increase MAX LCORES in DPDK
body: <p>I am using dpdk 17.11.1, on a system with > 128 cores.
  In the startup log, it is displayed that 128 cores are detected.</p>
  
  <p>As I am interested in using lcores beyond 128 for the application, I tried
  to increase the CONFIG_RTE_MAX_LCORES value in the dpdk/config/common_base
  file, and recompliled dpdk, but it still detects a max of 128 cores.</p>
  
  <p>I need to use higher numbered cores because the NIC card is plugged on to
  CPU 6 so I want to use the cores local to CPU6 for better performance.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me how the config_rte_max_lcore can be increased, and is there
  any other change that needs to be made ?</p>
