[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 8/8] doc: refer PMD compile and test section from qede doc

Refer the section which explains driver compilation and running of
testpmd in Linux, instead of describing it in driver documentation.

-Driver Compilation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To compile QEDE PMD for Linux x86_64 gcc target, run the following ``make``
-command::
-
-   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
-   make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc install
-
-To compile QEDE PMD for Linux x86_64 clang target, run the following ``make``
-command::
-
-   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
-   make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-clang install
-
-To compile QEDE PMD for FreeBSD x86_64 clang target, run the following ``gmake``
-command::
-
-   cd <DPDK-source-directory>
-   gmake config T=x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang install

-Sample Application Notes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This section demonstrates how to launch ``testpmd`` with QLogic 4xxxx
-devices managed by ``librte_pmd_qede`` in Linux operating system.
-
-#. Request huge pages:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages/ \
-                                                                nr_hugepages
-
-#. Load ``igb_uio`` driver:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
-
-#. Bind the QLogic 4xxxx adapters to ``igb_uio`` loaded in the
-   previous step:
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --bind igb_uio 0000:84:00.0 0000:84:00.1 \
-                                              0000:84:00.2 0000:84:00.3
-
-#. Start ``testpmd`` with basic parameters:
-   (Enable QEDE_DEBUG_INFO=y to view informational messages)
-
-   .. code-block:: console
-
-      testpmd -l 0,4-11 -n 4 -- -i --nb-cores=8 --portmask=0xf --rxd=4096 \
-      --txd=4096 --txfreet=4068 --enable-rx-cksum --rxq=4 --txq=4 \
-      --rss-ip --rss-udp
