add9186f73 README: cd to DPDK dir in a subshell
Tweak the build instructions slightly to make them simpler to follow.

If someone is reading the instructions top to bottom, the section about
how to build SPDK assumes the current directory is the top-level SPDK
repository, but if the reader just finished building DPDK, they would be
in the DPDK directory.

55dc5f2131 Add vfio support to scripts.
cleanup.sh and unbind.sh have been combined into a single
setup.sh that takes one optional parameter (reset). If no
parameter is given, the script will automatically bind
all NVMe and IOAT devices to either uio_pci_generic
or vfio-pci, as appropriate based on IOMMU settings. If
the reset parameter is given, the devices will be bound back
to the appropriate kernel drivers.

b663d3c669 README: update to DPDK 2.2.0
DPDK's install target now requires DESTDIR to be set, so change the
build instructions to set DESTDIR=. to match previous behavior.

af2a731de3 build: Allow relative path for DPDK_DIR
This is very convenient. It also works from subdirectories, as
long as you adjust the relative path you pass appropriately.
