Yes it is useful.
John and Siobhan are the maintainers for the doc.

Why creating a new guide?
Can it be included as a chapter of the Linux user guide?

OK to focus on Intel platform (must be reflected in the file name),
but it should be open to other NICs.
It was already commented in previous version:

Not needed
If something is needed for other NICs, other people will add it.

Yes the Intel NIC is an example.
