Overall patch looks good, but with above change, for the PMDs that doesn't
explicitly set 'dev_info.tx_desc_lim.nb_max' gets the default value
'UINT16_MAX', like virtual PMDs, and this increases the memmory requirement a 
lot.

What do you think to keep "port config all rxd|txd <value>" the fix, but remove
above nb_mbuf change?
