From: Stephen Hemminger <shemm...@brocade.com> Negotate the virtio ring size. The host may allow for very large rings but application may only want a smaller ring. Conversely, if the number of descriptors requested exceeds the virtio host queue size, then just silently use the smaller host size.
This fixes issues with virtio in non-QEMU envirionments. For example Google Compute Engine allows up to 16K elements in ring.
