> Patch extends minimum supported max_sqb_count devarg value such that it
> can limit the max sqb count to 8 buffers and also defines NIX_DEF_SQB and
> uses it to compute the number of sqe buffers required for the egress traffic.
> 
> NIX_DEF_SQB is defined as 16 which is optimal across multiple
> octeontx2 platforms to scale up the performance proportional to the
> corresponding port/queue to lcore mappings.
