[PATCH v2 7/8] doc/linux_gsg: drop reference to KNI

[Bruce Richardson]

The KNI library is disabled by default in DPDK and is already documented
in the programmers guide and also in the sample application guide. There
are also in-kernel alternatives to it.  Therefore, we can drop the
(already fairly minimal) reference to it from the Linux GSG.

-Loading the DPDK KNI Kernel Module
-----------------------------------
-
-To run the DPDK Kernel NIC Interface (KNI) sample application, an extra kernel module (the kni module) must be loaded into the running kernel.
-The module is found in the kernel/linux sub-directory of the DPDK build directory.
-It should be loaded using the insmod command::
-
-   insmod <build_dir>/kernel/linux/kni/rte_kni.ko
-
-.. note::
-
-   See the "Kernel NIC Interface Sample Application" chapter in the *DPDK Sample Applications User Guide* for more details.
