This patch updates the "Source Organisation" section of the Programmers Guide to add an note that the code in the drivers/net/pmd/base directories should not be modifed by the user apart from the pmd_osdep.[ch] files.
It also adds a note to the README files in the drivers/net/pmd/base dirs to highlight the same thing. P.S. When reviewing documentation patches it is sometimes useful to apply them to a temp branch and view the differences on a word or character level: git diff --color-words HEAD~1 git diff --color-words=.
