No, I had to apply the patch locally and work over patched qemu. QEMU
devels are currently in freeze for 2.7 release (not sure what their
release date is planned on though).

That's what I wanted to prevent. Copying name from qemu. But I've
struggled with the naming too (as can be seen - look how far I got :D).
I don't have a strong opinion on either of those, so whatever we feel
like I'll stick with that.

Well, as you point out later in the review too, qemu might change these
limitation anytime and we would advice untrue. But if I'm careful with
wording we might be safe.

Nope. Moreover, this feature is going to be used by expert users who
know exactly what they are doing. So I'd say we're okay with just trying
to start qemu and see if it fails or not. IOW too much work on our side
not worth it.

Good catch.

Sure, I can introduce such test.

I don't think we need to. We should probably check whether it is a power
of two (this looks like invariant requirement) = who would want a ring
size of a non-power of two size? But the maximum/minimum size can
change. Currently the limits are [256;1024]. Moreover, qemu fails with
sensible message:

error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:
2016-08-31T14:23:16.583247Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device
virtio-net-pci,mq=on,vectors=42,rx_queue_size=2048,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=52:54:00:6e:0e:72,bus=pci.2,addr=0x2:
Invalid rx_queue_size (= 2048), must be a power of 2 between 256 and 1024.


I'll post v2 which will is rebased onto current HEAD and address your
findings.

Thank you!
