See the > + "NXP CAAM JOB RING (caam_jr)" document for more details on this new driver. > + The CAAM JR is a crypto PMD, so I think it should be listed before Huffman Encoding, which is a compression PMD. We could also use the syntax :doc: to refer to its guide. [...] > +* ``AVX-512`` support has been disabled for ``GCC`` builds [1] because of a > + crash [2]. This can affect ``native`` machine type build targets on the > + platforms that support ``AVX512F`` like ``Intel Skylake`` processors, and > + can cause a possible performance drop. The immediate workaround is to use > + ``clang`` compiler on these platforms. The issue has been identified as a > + GCC defect and reported to the GCC community [3]. Further actions will be > + taken based on the GCC defect result. > > [1]: Commit 8d07c82b239f ("mk: disable gcc AVX512F support") > [2]: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97 The references appear on the same line in HTML. Should we make them a list?
