statement: 'with a number of small permission adjustments, it is possible to run these applications as a user other than “root”. '

link 2:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/enable_func.html?highlight=without%20root
statement: since version 4.0, the kernel does not allow unprivileged processes to read the physical address information from the pagemaps file, making it impossible for those processes to use HW devices which require physical addresses

Can we either have 1 link for this or update both place with kernel 4.0 issue.
