[dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH v1 2/4] net/e1000: add TxRx tuning parameters

[Remy Horton]

The optimal values of several transmission & reception related
parameters, such as burst sizes, descriptor ring sizes, and number
of queues, varies between different network interface devices. This
patch allows individual PMDs to specify preferred parameter values.
