[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/8] doc: consolidate common part among PMD docs

[Shijith Thotton]

Steps for compiling PMDs and running testpmd in Linux are common among
drivers. So it can be moved to a new document and be referred from other
driver documentations.

This patchset adds a new section for compiling and testing a PMD in
Network Interface Controller Drivers documentation. Other driver docs
with similar part are replaced with reference to this section.

v1 changes:
* Address review comments from John.
 - Corrections to documentation.
 - Create a new section after NIC overview for the doc.
 - Refer the section instead of including it in PMD docs.
* Change documentation of all PMDs with common part.

RFC:
* http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-April/062848.html
