[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v2 07/12] Documentation: ixgbevf: Prepare documentation for RST conversion

[Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>]

Before making the conversion to the rst (reStructured Text) format, there
are changes needed to the documentation so that there are no build errors.

Also fixed old/broken URLs to the correct or updated URL.

-This file describes the ixgbevf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network
-Connection.
-
-The ixgbevf driver supports 82599-based virtual function devices that can only
-be activated on kernels with CONFIG_PCI_IOV enabled.
+This driver supports 82599, X540, X550, and X552-based virtual function devices
+that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
 
-The ixgbevf driver supports virtual functions generated by the ixgbe driver
-with a max_vfs value of 1 or greater.
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
+supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
+with Linux.
 
-The guest OS loading the ixgbevf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
-
-VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 32 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
 
 Identifying Your Adapter
 ========================
+The driver is compatible with devices based on the following:

 Known Issues/Troubleshooting
 ============================
 
+SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
+
+The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
+
+This driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not
+supplying patches against the kernel source to allow for static linking of the
+drivers.
+
+VLANs: There is a limit of a total of 64 shared VLANs to 1 or more VFs.
