[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 7/8] vhost: validate virtqueue size

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Check the virtqueue size constraints so that invalid values don't cause
bugs later on in the code.  For example, sometimes the virtqueue size is
stored as unsigned int and sometimes as uint16_t, so bad things happen
if it is ever larger than 65535.
