Roger Pau Monné 2568ee6747 xen-netfront: always keep the Rx ring full of requests
This is based on Linux commit 1f3c2eba1e2d866ef99bb9b10ade4096e3d7607c from
David Vrabel:

A full Rx ring only requires 1 MiB of memory.  This is not enough memory
that it is useful to dynamically scale the number of Rx requests in the ring
based on traffic rates, because:

a) Even the full 1 MiB is a tiny fraction of a typically modern Linux
   VM (for example, the AWS micro instance still has 1 GiB of memory).

b) Netfront would have used up to 1 MiB already even with moderate
   data rates (there was no adjustment of target based on memory
   pressure).

c) Small VMs are going to typically have one VCPU and hence only one
   queue.

Keeping the ring full of Rx requests handles bursty traffic better than
trying to converge on an optimal number of requests to keep filled.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree.  See build(7)
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process.  See build(7), config(8),
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
for more information.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory.  GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.
