Jeff Kirsher 63e2ea2f89 Documentation: ixgbevf: Prepare documentation for RST conversion
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.

Linux* Base Virtual Function Driver for Intel(R) 10G Ethernet
=============================================================
Intel 10 Gigabit Virtual Function Linux driver.
Copyright(c) 1999-2018 Intel Corporation.
Contents
========
- Identifying Your Adapter
- Known Issues
- Support
This driver supports 82599, X540, X550, and X552-based virtual function devices
that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
with Linux.
Identifying Your Adapter
========================
The driver is compatible with devices based on the following:
* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82598
* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 82599
* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X520
* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X540
* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller x550
* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X552
* Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X553
For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
https://www.intel.com/support
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.
Support
=======
For general information, go to the Intel support website at:
https://www.intel.com/support/
or the Intel Wired Networking project hosted by Sourceforge at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000
If an issue is identified with the released source code on a supported kernel
with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue
to e1000-devel@lists.sf.net.
