This patch adds a new command to set ring buffer sizes. This is required to pass the buffer size information to passthrough devices. For performance reasons, with version7 and later, ring1 will contain only mtu size buffers (bound to 3K). Packets > 3K will use both ring1 and ring2. Also, ring sizes are round down to power of 2 and ring2 default size is increased to 512.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
