I already had the patch complete and was writing the changelog, but while doing that and the dep8 header I realized that this really isn't something we want to do.

Effectively that would "invite" latter and worse issues - in this case for example you don't want qemu to map against the 1G pages in /dev/hugepages-1048576.
You really might want to uncomment the hugetlbfs_mount in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf to disable the guesswork libvirt is doing.
If you would really want it to map against that you'd still want to set hugetlbfs_mount to have it reliably pick up the right path and in case of a non standard path you'd then want to extend the apparmor profile as Seth suggested.

I still want to continue discussing this and it would be great Thiago, if you could provide the files I asked for of your case. Also I might overlook something, so discussion is certainly worth it.

I'll however make a comment entry in the DPDK config file about the issue.
Adding a tracker now.
