Yes it is useful.
John and Siobhan are the maintainers for the doc.

Why creating a new guide?
Can it be included as a chapter of the Linux user guide?

The dates seem wrong.

OK to focus on Intel platform (must be reflected in the file name),
but it should be open to other NICs.
It was already commented in previous version:
	http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-August/022704.html

> +This document is a step-by-step guide for getting high DPDK performance with Intel's platform and NICs. For other NICs, e.g. Chelsio, Cisco, Mellanox, the Intel platform/CPU settings could be very similar, but the specific NIC's configurations may differ from each vendor.

Not needed
If something is needed for other NICs, other people will add it.

> +1. Get an high end Intel® NIC,

Intel can be removed here.

> e.g: Intel® XL710. Note: Get an high end NIC means getting a high packet rate, since currently 1G and 10G NICs can achieve line rate easily, but 40G NIC would be more complicated, so take it as an example. 

Yes the Intel NIC is an example.
