Vectorized routines were removed in result of Tx datapath refactoring,
and devarg keys documentation was updated.

However, more updating should have been done. In environment variables
doc, there was explanation according to vectorized Tx which isn't
relevant anymore.

This patch removes this irrelevant explanation.

   The register would be flushed to HW usually when the write-combining buffer
