Normally using 32 bytes is the default behavior and it's good to do that.
But I have to say I don't quite understand the scenario. DPDK is open source, whatever OS that users are using, nothing prevents them going to dpdk website to get the code and customize it.

We're thinking about moving some configuration from per port to per queue.
To my opinion, it's also a case that maybe it’s better to make it a queue's parameter.
Obviously it’s an API change. So we have to be slow and careful :)
