Looking at this a little more carefully.

1. Trivial: TAP_LOG() already adds a newline.

2. TAP device should not be silently reducing the number of receive descriptors.

3. TAP device be using IOV_MAX to set rx_descriptor limit. (in dev_info)
   The ethdev would rx_queue_setup with any request for too large a value.
