Build fails: doc/guides/sample_app_ug/vhost.rst:193: WARNING: Unexpected indentation
Id suggest making it like below:
Change the default number to make it work as below, just set the number
according to the NIC's property. ::
make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DMAX_QUEUES=320"
You can add my ack when changes are made.
