This patch moved i40e related know issues from doc/guides/rel_notes/
known_issues.rst to driver/net/i40e/i40e_know_issues.rst, makes us easy
to track the issue about i40e.

-I40e VF may not receive packets in the promiscuous mode

-**Description**:
-   Promiscuous mode is not supported by the DPDK i40e VF driver when using the

-
-**Implication**:
-   The i40e VF does not receive packets when the destination MAC address is unknown.

-   Use a explicit destination MAC address that matches the VF.

-   The ``uio_pci_generic`` module is not supported by XL710, since the errata of XL710
-   states that the Interrupt Status bit is not implemented. The errata is the item #71
-   from the `xl710 controller spec
-   <http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/xl710-10-40-controller-spec-update.html>`_.

-   that these products don’t support INTx masking, is indicated in the related `linux kernel commit
