Why? Is due to API name? If so,
Can we have rte_eth_dma_zone_reservere_with_resize() then ?
or any another name, You would like to have?

What you think it has correct solution then?
Obviously, We can not allocate max ring size in init time. 
If the NIC has support for 64K HW ring, We will be wasting too much as
it is per queue.
