[dpdk-dev,5/5] virtio: fix ring size negotiation
Commit Message
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemming@brocade.com>
Negotate the virtio ring size. The host may allow for very large
rings but application may only want a smaller ring.
Conversely, if the number of descriptors requested exceeds the virtio
host queue size, then just silently use the smaller host size.
This fixes issues with virtio in non-QEMU envirionments.
For example Google Compute Engine allows up to 16K elements
in ring.
