Hi Bhupesh,

Thanks for looking into this. We are also analyzing how to reduce qed* memory
usage even more.

Patch is good, but may I suggest not to introduce conditional logic into the
defines but instead just add two new defines like NUM_[RT]X_BDS_MIN and check
for is_kdump_kernel() in the code explicitly?

if (is_kdump_kernel()) {
edev->q_num_rx_buffers = NUM_RX_BDS_MIN;
edev->q_num_tx_buffers = NUM_TX_BDS_MIN;
} else {
edev->q_num_rx_buffers = NUM_RX_BDS_DEF;
edev->q_num_tx_buffers = NUM_TX_BDS_DEF;
}

This may make configuration logic more explicit. If future we may want adding
more specific configs under this `if`.

Regards
Igor
