  This is a joint effort to make the unit tests ready for CI.
The first patches are fixes that I had accumulated.
Then the second part of the series focuses on skipping tests when some
requirements are not fulfilled so that we can start them in a restrained
environment like Travis virtual machines that gives us two cores and does
not have specific hw devices.

We are still not ready for enabling those tests in Travis.
At least, the following issues remain:
- some fixes on librte_acl have not been merged yet [1],
- the tests on --file-prefix are still ko, and have been isolated in a
  test that we could disable while waiting for the fixes,
- rwlock_autotest and hash_readwrite_lf_autotest are taking a little more
  than 10s,
- librte_table unit test crashes on ipv6 [2],
- the "perf" tests are taking way too long for my taste,
- the shared build unit tests all fail when depending on mempool since
  the mempool drivers are not loaded,

Changelog since v1:
- removed limit on 128 cores in rcu tests,
- reworked Michael patch on eal test and started splitting big tests into
  subtests: when a subtest fails, it does not impact the other subtests;
  plus, subtests are shorter to run, so easier to make them fit in 10s,

Comments/reviews welcome!
