I know you are only moving this section of the docs but there are a few issues
that are worth fixing while you are doing it.

The rxq values require 2 backquote: ``--rxq=4`` in several places.

Also, make should that there is a space before each open parenthesis in this
section. There are several places where there isn't one:  pools(ETH_32_POOLS),
