Hello,

This patch fixes an issue with my ConnectX5 NIC (15b3:1019) showing
65535 as the maximum number of RX descriptors.

So, a disclaimer: I don't know whether other NICs (ConnectX6?) allow
larger values. The value of 8192 was obtained experimentally with
ethtool: ethtool -G *nic* rx 8192, as I do not have the NIC
programmer's manual.

Using anything larger than 8192 resulted in an error. Similarly,
anything in the [8193, 32768) range with the DPDK PMD results in an rx
queue allocation failure.
