We are loosing maintainer information for the kernel module, same concern for
other kernel modules in the 'dpdk-kmods' repo.

One option is 'dpdk-kmods' repo can have it's maintainers file, but I believe
better to have single maintainer file, and cover the maintainer and location
information in this file.

There is no information where 'dpdk-kmods' repo is. It can be good to have it as
link.
