We should restore the dequeue_depth to 128 for the port config passed to 
the Tx adapter. Doing so takes the performance from 5.8 mpps to 11.7 
mpps for on my test setup (test setup uses the SW PMD). Restoring 
enqueue_depth and new_event_threshold (64 and 4096 respectively) had
no noticeable effect.
