This updates mlx4 documentation and DPDK release notes
to reflect the PMD support for rdma-core from linux-rdma.
- PMD is now freed from Mellanox OFED and now only depends on the
public rdma-core package (v15 and above) instead.
(see https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/releases)
This PMD should run under Linux v4.14 and above.
- In case any of the above requirements can't be satisfied,
Mellanox OFED v4.2 and above also provide an updated rdma-core
as well back-ported kernel modules for most Linux distributions
and previous Linux versions.
(see http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26).

The maximum width is set to 2em.
The width of the first column set by sphinx is overridden to 0

This is a wrapper to Linux kernel get_maintainer.pl file and only
supports parsing MAINTAINERS file (no git fallback etc..)
Requires DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH devel config option set, please check
devtools/load-devel-config.
DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH should be full path to the get_maintainer.pl
script, like:
DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH=~/linux/scripts/get_maintainer.pl
Can be used individually:
./devtools/get-maintainer.sh <my.patch>
Or via git send-email, to add maintainers automatically:
git send-email --to-cmd ./devtools/get-maintainer.sh \
--cc dev@dpdk.org HEAD -4
Currently there is an ugly workaround to be able to use Linux script out
of the kernel tree, later better method can replace it.
