new patch shared doc/linux_gsg: add amd configuration section - Patchwork (dpdk.org)

Instead of the Linux guide, should we add it to the platform guides?
        doc/guides/platform/

We may want to create an entry in MAINTAINERS as well.

thank you, added the same under `AMD x86`

More details below.

+This document shares step-by-step guide for configuring AMD EPYC SoC across various families for getting best performance for DPDK applications.
+Various factors like BIOS, Numa Per Socket, Memory per Numa, near-far from IO device affects the overall performance.

Numa -> NUMA

+
+These are covered in various sections of tuning guides shared below.

+General Requirements
+--------------------
+
+Memory
+~~~~~~
+
+Refer `Memory Configuration` section for SoC specific details.
+
+Note: general thumb rule is to ensure that each memory channel has at least one memory DIMM populated. The ideal memory size for each is at least 8|16|32 GB ECC modules.
