After we configure QEMU we also need to call 'make' to build the binary.
This step is currently missing in the description and this patch fixes
it.

The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be
promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch
adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option.
The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option
will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c
option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.

Having reference benchmarks is important in order to obtain
reproducible performance figures.
This patch describes required steps to configure a PVP setup
using testpmd in both host and guest.
Not relying on external vSwitch ease integration in a CI loop by
not being impacted by DPDK API changes.

The vdev eth_bond has been renamed to net_bond.
testpmd is creating a bonding device with the old prefix.
It is changed for consistency.
The script test-null.sh was failing because using the old name
for the null vdev.
Fixes also the bonding and testpmd doc.

Flow Bifurcation is a mechanism which uses features of advanced
Ethernet devices to split traffic between queues. It provides
the capability to let the kernel driver and DPDK driver co-exist
and take advantage of both.
It is achieved by using SR-IOV and the NIC's advanced filtering. This
patch describes Flow Bifurcation and adds the user guide for ixgbe
and i40e NICs.
