in the iommu resulting in IOMMU/DMAR errors when the device tries to
access memory.

In Release 1.8, the mbuf structure was significantly reworked to add
extra information, leading to the structure being split across two
cache lines, and the data pointer being replaced by an offset. The
description of the library in the programmer's guide document needs
to be updated to take account of these changes.

Since the DPDK is now part of the BSD ports collection, we should
recommend installing from ports as the best way to get it up and
running.
In order to achieve this, while still keeping the document readable, the
chapter on system requirements has been moved to instead be a section
within the chapter on compiling the DPDK outside of the ports
collection. This move is necessary, since it covered a lot of detail on
installing other ports required to build DPDK. These steps are not
needed when installing DPDK itself from ports.

The FreeBSD GSG rst files had very inconsistent line lengths for text
within paragraph blocks. Sometimes a line would be very short, while often
lines would be quite long.
This patch adjusts the formatting of the rst files so that lines break
at approx the 80-character mark, as is standard in the DPDK source code.
