Bug Description

Currently the Fab Tasks provision dpdk with 2MB huge pages only.
User needs to configure it manually if he wants to use 1G Huge pages
Instead it should be an option in the env.dpdk section

Below are the steps that needs to enable 1G hugepages
1 In /etc/default/grub append these parameters to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=X (where X is how many pages you want)
2. update-grub
3. In /etc/fstab set below
hugetlbfs /hugepages hugetlbfs defaults,pagesize=1G 0 0
4. Reboot
