> Subject: [PATCH 00/33] Update net driver documentation
> 
> Some PMDs has "Pre-Installation Configuration" section in their
> documentation, although section is not clear I assume that is historical from
> times compile time parameters and 'make' build system used, where
> common make target was 'install', so section refers to compile time
> configuration.
> 
> Right now device arguments ("Runtime configuration") is documented under
> this section which is confusing, so updating section name from "Pre-
> Installation Configuration" to "Configuration".
> 
> While touching documents trying to keep following template in the
> documents, with section names and order, to have consistent documents
> without being too strict on applying the template:
> 
> 	[Overview]
> 	Supported Devices
> 	Supported Features
> 	Prerequisites
> 	Configuration
> 		Compilation Options
> 		Environment variables
> 		Runtime Configuration
> 	Debugging
> 	Limitations or Known issues
> 	Testpmd driver specific commands
> 
> Note: Patch sent as each driver separately to help review, it can be squashed
> while merging.
> 
> Other further improvements not covered here can be visiting  "Building
> DPDK" sections which has redundant and less useful information,  and
> "Usage example" section which has testpmd log, most of the part is same for
> all drivers.
