However, reading it carefully, I think docs in dpdk-kmods could be restructured as well: * Keep windows/README.rst unchanged, except for Device Manager steps, which are actually specific to virt2phys. * Create windows/virt2phys/README.rst with instructions above. * Change windows/netuio/README.rst: remove the bulk of its content, as it repeats generic instructions, keep netuio-specific Device Manager part. Then a specific link for virt2phys here would make sense and there will be even less duplication in dpdk-kmods. If no one objects, I'll do this in v2. Thanks!
