Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 0/6] Enable VF RSS for Niantic
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:24:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2500048.zNVo70YcKP@xps13> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1421042352-22399-1-git-send-email-changchun.ouyang@intel.com>

This kind of information should go in a documentation.
I think we should start new documentation for PMDs.
What about a doc/drivers/ directory ?
