You can remove these two structures (and all the macros involved),
if you pass NULL to rxconf/txconf parameters when calling RX/TX queue setup.

Recently, a new functionality has been added for RX/TX queue setup. 
You can now use NULL as rxconf/txconf parameter, so it will use 
the optimal configuration, so it will save you some lines of code and simplify it.

Remove second space before "=".

Typos in "running" and "workers gets". Plus, use standard multi-line comments.

Move "/*" to the first line, to be consistent with other multi-line comments.

Missing indentation.
