<rk> i have divided eal_common.c (new file which was added in v1 PATCH)
into eal_common_system.c and eal_common_runtime.c and have moved
appropriate functions into it. If file names are not appropriate or changes
are not worth doing the split, I will merge them back into
eal_common_config.c.

Thanks.
