docs/install-instr: Add target specific cfg sect.
Fuel 8.0 adds support for setting up "Offloading Modes" for target nodes. Document how this features should be used (and why/when it's necessary), and also its common limitation of not being applied during Verify Networks step (see related Fuel bug report [1]). While at it, fix minor reference to branch in git tag checkout instructions, as we'd be in detached HEAD and not on a new branch. [1] https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/FUEL-134 [Alexandru.Avadanii@enea.com] Only minor edits and prepared for upstreaming, this is mostly based on previous work from Florin.

+Target specific configuration
+-----------------------------
+
+#. Set up targets for provisioning with non-default "Offloading Modes"
+
+ Some target nodes may require additional configuration after they are
+ PXE booted (bootstrapped); the most frequent changes are in defaults
+ for ethernet devices' "Offloading Modes" settings (e.g. some targets'
+ ethernet drivers may strip VLAN traffic by default).
+
+ If your target ethernet drivers have wrong "Offloading Modes" defaults,
+ in "Configure interfaces" page (described above), expand affected
+ interface's "Offloading Modes" and [un]check the relevant settings
+ (see figure below):
+
+ .. figure:: img/offloadingmodes.png
+
+#. Set up targets for "Verify Networks" with non-default "Offloading Modes"
+
+ **NOTE**: Check *Reference 15* for an updated and comprehensive list of
+ known issues and/or limitations, including "Offloading Modes" not being
+ applied during "Verify Networks" step.
+
+ Setting custom "Offloading Modes" in Fuel GUI will only apply those settings
+ during provisiong and **not** during "Verify Networks", so if your targets
+ need this change, you have to apply "Offloading Modes" settings by hand
+ to bootstrapped nodes.
+
+ **E.g.**: Our driver has "rx-vlan-filter" default "on" (expected "off") on
+ the Openstack interface(s) "eth1", preventing VLAN traffic from passing
+ during "Verify Networks".
+
+ - From Fuel master console identify target nodes admin IPs (see figure below):
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ fuel nodes
+
+ .. figure:: img/fuelconsole1.png
+
+ - SSH into each of the target nodes and disable "rx-vlan-filter" on the
+ affected physical interface(s) allocated for OpenStack traffic (eth1):
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ssh root@10.20.0.6 ethtool -K eth1 rx-vlan-filter off
+
+ - Repeat the step above for all affected nodes/interfaces in the POD.
