Steps for compiling PMDs and running testpmd in Linux are common among drivers. So it can be moved to a new document and be referred from other driver documentations.
This patchset adds a new section for compiling and testing a PMD in Network Interface Controller Drivers documentation. Other driver docs with similar part are replaced with reference to this section. v2 changes: * Make doc to compile and test PMD more generic. * Modify docs of ark and thunderx. * Keep testpmd logs in PMD docs. v1 changes: * Address review comments from John. - Corrections to documentation. - Create a new section after NIC overview for the doc. - Refer the section instead of including it in PMD docs. * Change documentation of all PMDs with common part.
