  When configuring an Intel DSA instance using the utility script
dpdk_idxd_cfg.py, explicitly set the max supported batch size value to a
high value, to ensure large bursts are supported if so desired. The
default in the linux kernel is now just 32 [1], which may not be
sufficient for all DPDK apps.

Note: although not fixing a bug in DPDK itself, due to kernel changes
this patch should be considered for backport as a fix, so cc'ing stable.
