Use first cpu as control thread to run workers. And
all other cpus for workers run with pthread_create.
If needed to run something on current core it has to be
run directly, not with pthread_create.

Do you have that problem in others tests? Which one?

Nicolas, can you do required changes for your platform and test them? My 
fix needed only for dpdk others tests
looks like pass.

When will the control/worker thread changes on API-NEXT make it into
master?.. because whatever changes are made now will need to be redone
then so perhaps it's better to wait, or cherry pick those changes.

The current fix is a bit limited as it assumes cpu 0 is the control cpu,
but we don't do any thread pinning for the main (/control) thread.

That is good question. Probably we should cherry-pick that change before 
anything else. At least to
unblock dpdk.

Yes - at the latest lets use Tuesdays ODP planning meeting to find a pick
what makes sense in preparation for ODP 1.2 at the end of August.
