Please remove dpdk-iface-kmod #305

Hi. dpdk-iface-kmod is a very strange implementation. As far as I understand it you get the local IP address from a virtual network interface dpdk0 that doesn't do anything instead of just specifying it in the configuration. Problem is that your dpdk0 doesn't appear for any cards except igb, which basically makes mTCP unusable for most cards. I suggest you to drop dpdk-iface-kmod at all and move IP address and netmask configuration to the config. Maybe I'll patch it myself and submit a pull request.

See also #306. I removed that strange kernel module and managed to get it running.
