In section 5.1 there is a reference to the "kmod" subdirectory, which is
the make build directory name. This should be changed to "kernel/linux" for
meson builds.

The deleted text needs to be replaced, I think. I'd suggest: "Building DPDK
Linux kernel modules is disabled by default starting from DPDK v20.02. To
enable them again, the config option "enable_kmods" needs to be set in the
meson build configuration. See :ref:`adjusting_build_options` for details
on how to set/clear build options."
