[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 1/3] doc: add platform guide

[Santosh Shukla <santosh.shukla@caviumnetworks.com>]

This commit adds a section to the docs listing the platform
guide for the PMDs.

It then adds the octeontx platform guide to the listed platform
devices.

Patch also removes platform specific duplicate setup information from
eventdev/octeontx.rst, nics/octeontx.rst and update to
plaform/octeontx.rst.

v4 --> v5:
* Replaced `Ref:` with `Sec :doc:` as per John review comment.
* * Renamed Feature to Features (john).
* * Replaced Section from `Platform Device Driver` to
`Platform Specific guide` (john).
* s/Intel Corporation / Cavium Inc (Jerin)

+OCTEONTX Board Support Package
+==============================
+
+This doc has information about steps to setup octeontx platform
+and information about common offload hw block drivers of
+**Cavium OCTEONTX** SoC family.
+
+
+More information about SoC can be found at `Cavium, Inc Official Website
+<http://www.cavium.com/OCTEON-TX_ARM_Processors.html>`_.
+
+Common Offload HW Block Drivers
+-------------------------------
+
+1. **Eventdev Driver**
+   See :doc: `../eventdevs/octeontx.rst` for octeontx ssovf eventdev driver
+   information.
+
+Steps To Setup Platform
+-----------------------
+
+There are three main pre-prerequisites for setting up Platform drivers on
+OCTEONTX compatible board:
+
+1. **OCTEONTX Linux kernel PF driver for Network acceleration HW blocks**
+
+   The OCTEONTX Linux kernel drivers (includes the required PF driver for the
+   Platform drivers) are available on Github at `octeontx-kmod <https://github.com/caviumnetworks/octeontx-kmod>`_
+   along with build, install and dpdk usage instructions.
+
+2. **ARM64 Tool Chain**
+
+   For example, the *aarch64* Linaro Toolchain, which can be obtained from
+   `here <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2017.01/aarch64-linux-gnu>`_.
+
+3. **Rootfile system**
+
+   Any *aarch64* supporting filesystem can be used. For example,
+   Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily) or 16.04 LTS (Xenial) userland which can be obtained
+   from `<http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.1-base-arm64.tar.gz>`_.
+
+   As an alternative method, Platform drivers can also be executed using images provided
+   as part of SDK from Cavium. The SDK includes all the above prerequisites necessary
+   to bring up a OCTEONTX board.
+
+   SDK and related information can be obtained from: `Cavium support site <https://support.cavium.com/>`_.
