Copy OPNFV docs dir as documentation base.

Armband Fuel for aarch64 is very similar to amd64 in both
configuration and deployment, with a small difference in the build
process.

Therefore it makes sense to base our documentation on Jonas'
work in OPNFV Fuel.

+Abstract
+========
+
+This document compiles the release notes for the Brahmaputra release of
+OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool.
+
+Important notes
+===============
+
+These notes provides release information for the use of Fuel as deployment
+tool for the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV.
+
+The goal of the Brahmaputra release and this Fuel-based deployment process is
+to establish a lab ready platform accelerating further development
+of the OPNFV infrastructure.
+
+Carefully follow the installation-instructions provided in *Reference 13*.
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+For Brahmaputra, the typical use of Fuel as an OpenStack installer is
+supplemented with OPNFV unique components such as:
+
+- `OpenDaylight <http://www.opendaylight.org/software>`_ version "Berylium RC1 as"
+
+- `ONOS <http://onosproject.org/>`_ version "Drake"
+
+- `Service function chaining <https://wiki.opnfv.org/service_function_chaining>`_
+
+- `SDN distributed routing and VPN <https://wiki.opnfv.org/sdnvpn>`_
+
+- `NFV Hypervisors-KVM <https://wiki.opnfv.org/nfv-kvm>`_
+
+- `Open vSwitch for NFV <https://wiki.opnfv.org/ovsnfv>`_
+
+- `VSPERF <https://wiki.opnfv.org/characterize_vswitch_performance_for_telco_nfv_use_cases>`_
+
+As well as OPNFV-unique configurations of the Hardware- and Software stack.
+
+This Brahmaputra artifact provides Fuel as the deployment stage tool in the
+OPNFV CI pipeline including:
+
+- Documentation built by Jenkins
+
+  - overall OPNFV documentation
+
+  - this document (release notes)
+
+  - installation instructions
+
+  - build-instructions
+
+- The Brahmaputra Fuel installer image (.iso) built by Jenkins
+
+- Automated deployment of Brahmaputra with running on bare metal or a nested hypervisor environment (KVM)
+
+- Automated validation of the Brahmaputra deployment
