Beware that the CI reported a build failure on this change:


FAILED: [code=2] doc/guides/html
/usr/bin/python3 ../buildtools/call-sphinx-build.py
/usr/bin/sphinx-build 25.07.0-rc3
/home/runner/work/dpdk/dpdk/doc/guides
/home/runner/work/dpdk/dpdk/build/doc/guides -a -W

Warning, treated as error:
/home/runner/work/dpdk/dpdk/doc/guides/nics/ixgbe.rst:118:Title level
inconsistent:

Feature not Supported by RX Vector PMD
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
