Basic thread model of application is same as examples/qos_sched.

On ixgbe:
	RX desc = 4000 - RX free threshold=32
	TX desc = 512  - TX free threshold=0 so driver sets default of 32

I was setting rx/tx conf but since examples don't went away from that.

The whole RX/TX tuning parameters are a very poor programming model only
a hardware engineer could love. Requiring the application to look at
driver string and choose the magic parameter settings, is in my opnion
an indication of using incorrect abstraction.
