So I had an idea, we can implement ethtool_set_ringparam() in this
series to get one real users.

But this came into another question: it looks to me current virito-net
just uses the maximum ring size, so it basically means we just can
decrease the number from startup, so I wonder how much value if we
don't limit the startup queue size to a dedicated value.

Thanks
