Agree, it is not a new problem, it has been there for a while.
Though making lcore assignment dynamic will make it more noticeable and harder to avoid.
With static only lcore distribution it is much easier to control things.

In theory it is possible to mark this new API as not supported for MP.
At least for now. Though I think it is sort of temporal solution.
AFAIK, MP is used by customers, so sooner or later someone will hit that problem.
Let say, we do have pdump app/library in our mainline.
As I can see - it will be affected when users will start using this new dynamic lcore API
inside their apps.

Right, didn't read the code properly.
Please scratch that comment.
