The --txpkts command line parameter was silently ignored due to
application was unable to check the Tx queue ring sizes for non
configured ports.
The "set txpkts <len0[,len1]*>" was also rejected if there
was some stopped or /unconfigured port.
This provides the following:
- If fails to get ring size from the port, this can be because port is
not initialized yet, ignore the check and just be sure segment size
won't cause an out of bound access. The port descriptor check will
be done during Tx setup.
- The capability to send single packet is supposed to be very basic
and always supported, the setting segment number to 1 is always
allowed, no check performed
- At the moment of Tx queue setup the descriptor number is checked
against configured segment number
