Documentation: igbvf: 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.

-This file describes the igbvf Linux* Base Driver for Intel Network Connection.
+This driver supports Intel 82576-based virtual function devices-based virtual
+function devices that can only be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV.
 
-The igbvf driver supports 82576-based virtual function devices that can only
-be activated on kernels that support SR-IOV. SR-IOV requires the correct
-platform and OS support.
+SR-IOV requires the correct platform and OS support.
 
-The igbvf driver requires the igb driver, version 2.0 or later. The igbvf
-driver supports virtual functions generated by the igb driver with a max_vfs
-value of 1 or greater. For more information on the max_vfs parameter refer
-to the README included with the igb driver.
+The guest OS loading this driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
 
-The guest OS loading the igbvf driver must support MSI-X interrupts.
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
+supplied with your Intel adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use
+with Linux.
 
-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 driver.  For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the
-documentation supplied with your Intel Gigabit adapter.  All hardware
-requirements listed apply to use with Linux.
+Driver information can be obtained using ethtool, lspci, and ifconfig.
+Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section Additional
+Configurations later in this document.

+ethtool
+-------
+The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool
+version is required for this functionality. Download it at:
