  The maximum number of rings in af_packet is hard coded as 16.
The user should be able to configure this as part of DPDK config.

Not sure about adding a new config option for this.

There is already "qpairs" devarg, allocating queues dynamically, instead of
using a per-defined sized arrays, should enable removing
'RTE_PMD_AF_PACKET_MAX_RINGS' completely.

But the current driver does not allow qpairs > 16.
This is a config option to allow more.

This can be done without config option by removing 16 limitation.
