For this point #5, not knowing the details here, but at a high level, I
wonder if that really needs to be done, if the existing make build of the
doc works ok. As the plan is to move DTS into DPDK repo, presumably the
documentation would also move, and at that point it can just reuse the DPDK
meson build infrastructure for documentation. Is there a compelling reason
to invest in doing this change earlier? For docs rather than code, moving
to meson doesn't generally give much benefit - the only reason we did so in
main DPDK repo was consistency with everything else.
