[PATCH 2/2] doc: use common description of EAL parameters

[David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>]

Rather than have a subset of the EAL parameters described in the sample
apps documentation, prefer referring to the full list.

     Abstraction Layer (EAL) library, which provides some options that are generic

-A large number of options can be given to the EAL when running an
-application. A full list of options can be got by passing `--help` to a
-DPDK application. Some of the EAL options for FreeBSD are as follows:
-
-*   ``-l CORELIST``:
-    A comma-separated list of the cores, or ranges of cores to run on.
-    For example, ``-l 0,1,4-6`` will run on cores 0, 1, 4, 5 and 6.
-    Note that core numbering can change between platforms and should be determined beforehand.
-
-*   ``-b <domain:bus:devid.func>``:
-    Blocklisting of ports; prevent EAL from using specified PCI device
-    (multiple ``-b`` options are allowed).
-
-*   ``-v``:
-    Display version information on startup.
-
-*   ``-m MB``:
-    Memory to allocate from hugepages, regardless of processor socket.
-
-Other options, specific to Linux and are not supported under FreeBSD are as follows:
-
-*   ``socket-mem``:
-    Memory to allocate from hugepages on specific sockets.
-
-*   ``--huge-dir``:
-    The directory where hugetlbfs is mounted.
-
-*   ``--mbuf-pool-ops-name``:
-    Pool ops name for mbuf to use.
-
-*   ``--file-prefix``:
-    The prefix text used for hugepage filenames.
+You can refer to :doc:`freebsd_eal_parameters` for the list of EAL options.

 The application is linked with the DPDK target environment's Environmental Abstraction Layer (EAL) library,

-* ``-l CORELIST``:
-  A comma-separated list of the cores, or ranges of cores to run on.
-  For example, ``-l 0,1,4-6`` will run on cores 0, 1, 4, 5 and 6.
-  Note that core numbering can change between platforms and should be determined beforehand.

-  Number of memory channels per processor socket.
-
-* ``-b <domain:bus:devid.func>``:
-  Blocklisting of ports; prevent EAL from using specified PCI device
-  (multiple ``-b`` options are allowed).
-
-* ``--numa-mem``:
-  Memory to allocate from hugepages on specific sockets. In dynamic memory mode,
-  this memory will also be pinned (i.e. not released back to the system until
-  application closes).
-
-* ``--numa-limit``:
-  Limit maximum memory available for allocation on each socket. Does not support
-  legacy memory mode.
-
-* ``-d``:
-  Add a driver or driver directory to be loaded.
-  The application should use this option to load the PMDs
-  that are built as shared libraries.
-
-* ``-m MB``:
-  Memory to allocate from hugepages, regardless of processor socket. It is
-  recommended that ``--numa-mem`` be used instead of this option.
-
-* ``-r NUM``:
-  Number of memory ranks.
-
-* ``-v``:
-  Display version information on startup.
-
-* ``--huge-dir``:
-  The directory where hugetlbfs is mounted.
-
-* ``--mbuf-pool-ops-name``:
-  Pool ops name for mbuf to use.
-
-* ``--file-prefix``:
-  The prefix text used for hugepage filenames.
-
-* ``--proc-type``:
-  The type of process instance.
-
-* ``--vmware-tsc-map``:
-  Use VMware TSC map instead of native RDTSC.
-
-* ``--base-virtaddr``:
-  Specify base virtual address.
-
-* ``--vfio-intr``:
-  Specify interrupt type to be used by VFIO (has no effect if VFIO is not used).
-
-* ``--legacy-mem``:
-  Run DPDK in legacy memory mode (disable memory reserve/unreserve at runtime,
-  but provide more IOVA-contiguous memory).
-
-* ``--single-file-segments``:
-  Store memory segments in fewer files (dynamic memory mode only - does not
-  affect legacy memory mode).
