This patch raises rx ring memory consumption from 128 * 4KB = 512KB to
128 * 64KB = 8MB.

Michael, Jason: Any advice regarding rx/tx ring sizes and buffer sizes?

Depending on rx ring size and the workload's packet size, different
values might be preferred.

This could become a tunable in the future. It determines the size of
the guest driver's rx buffers.
