Never mind, i forgot that NICs can be reconfigured :)

Currently, there is no way to resize memzones, so freeing and 
reallocating is the only option. Since memzones are backed by regular 
malloc elements, we could add a memzone_resize API. That would help, 
because all of the references to the memzone itself will still be valid, 
even if memory ends up being reallocated.
