This patch moved i40e related know issues from doc/guides/rel_notes/
known_issues.rst to driver/net/i40e/i40e_know_issues.rst, makes us easy
to track the issue about i40e.

-I40e VF may not receive packets in the promiscuous mode
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-**Description**:
- Promiscuous mode is not supported by the DPDK i40e VF driver when using the
- i40e Linux kernel driver as host driver.
-
-**Implication**:
- The i40e VF does not receive packets when the destination MAC address is
unknown.

- Use a explicit destination MAC address that matches the VF.

-uio pci generic module bind failed in X710/XL710/XXV710
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-**Description**:
- The ``uio_pci_generic`` module is not supported by XL710, since the errata
of XL710
- states that the Interrupt Status bit is not implemented. The errata is the
item #71
- from the `xl710 controller spec

<http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/xl710-10-40-controller-spec-update.html>`_.
- The hw limitation is the same as other X710/XXV710 NICs.
-
-**Implication**:
- When use ``--bind=uio_pci_generic``, the ``uio_pci_generic`` module probes
device and check the Interrupt
- Status bit. Since it is not supported by X710/XL710/XXV710, it return a
*failed* value. The statement
- that these products don’t support INTx masking, is indicated in the related
`linux kernel commit
