why tx_queue_size must be 256 for non-vhost-user tap nic

[yue]

Hi, all:

  I tried to test the effort of nic queue's ring-size, but  nic' tx vring-size is always 256.  finally i found  the code.   

could you tell why ?

thanks

n->net_conf.tx_queue_size = MIN(virtio_net_max_tx_queue_size(n),

                                    n->net_conf.tx_queue_size);

n->net_conf.tx_queue_size is 256 if peer->info->type != NET_CLIENT_DRIVER_VHOST_USER.
