CONFIG_HPET_MMAP option not set in RHEL6.2 kernel
Issue
We intend to use Intel DPDK (data-path development kit) to boost the performances of some user-plane applications in charge of packet processing.
An Intel DPDK description is available here: Packet Processing on Intel Architecture
Intel DPDK requires high-resolution timer usage (i.e. HPET feature) and the capacity to remap the HPET registers into the memory of a user process.
