[dpdk-dev] vhost-switch example: huge memory need and CRC off-loading issue

Hi again,
two findings in the vhost-switch example code that can cause grey hair
for starters:
- MAX_QUEUES of 512 causes pretty high memory need for the application
(something between 1 and 2G) - is that really needed? I'm now running
with 32, and I'm able to get away with 256M. Can we tune this
default?
- hw_strip_crc is set to 0, but either the igb driver or the ET2 quad
port adapter I'm using is ignoring this. It does strip the CRC, so
does software, and I'm losing 4 bytes on each unpadded packet. Known
issue?
Thanks,
Jan
