Fix typos in sample console commands.
Remove "user@target:~$" prefixes in command lines.
Add --socket-mem 1024 to vhost-switch command lines.
Without the --socket-mem parameter all hugepages will be allocated
to vhost-switch, leaving no memory for the VM.
Add --disable-hw-vlan-filter parameter to testpmd command lines.
Without this parameter testpmd fails on startup in the VM.
Increase value of --sock-mem parameter to testpmd as original
value was too small.

Add a new guide doc as part of the Linux Getting Started Guide.
The document is a step-by-step guide on how to get high performance
with DPDK on an Intel platform.
It is designed for users who are not familiar with DPDK but would like
to get the best performance with NICs.

Update the documentation to reflect that the minimum Linux kernel
requirement for DPDK 2.2 has increased from 2.6.33 to 2.6.34.
Compatibility with kernel 2.6.33 was dropped, after discussion on

Change the Sphinx default theme from "alabaster" to the ReadTheDocs
theme. See for example:
http://dpdk.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
This looks better for technical documentation and in particular
it has a 80 char wide verbatim block rendering.
Also add logos for the html and latex docs.

SR-IOV is supported using bnx2x poll mode driver running as VF driver and
native linux driver running as PF (in host/hypervisor). There is no issue
while running with the PF driver which is at the base version as that of
PMD. However, there is a compatibility issue between newer out-of-box PF
drivers with older VF driver. So the newer VFs would also need to send
BNX2X_VF_TLV_PHYS_PORT_ID (among other TLVs) to differentiate between
newer and older VFs.

If you stop and start the driver, the rx queue will have the previous
index values when programming the adapter. Therefore, we should always
reset the queue indices when the rx ring is setup. Note: We need to
clear (write) the status block's completion queue index since it is
possibly in a read cache.
Tidy some init code to make it clearer what the defaults are.

When refilling freelists for the first time and if it fails, the rxq
is freed and returns ENOMEM. There is a check while freeing hardware rxq
to pass freelist context id if the freelist exists or 0xffff otherwise.
The error path is only reached if freelist exists. So, fix is to remove
the useless check for freelist existence.

In eal_intr_proc_rxtx_intr, negative value may be used as argument to
a function expecting a positive value. If 'read' returns EAGAIN as
example, the bytes_read updates to a negative value which continue

Function read(fd, &buf, bytes_read) returns a negative number.
