      Goal

      We allocate in RX path more memory than we really need. The amount of such redundant allocations depends on exact settings and varies from 6% to 75%. In absolute numbers we're talking about reduction of megabytes per queue.

      Acceptance Criteria

      1. WHCK and regular acceptance tests.
      2. Current "netkvm-wmi.cmd cfg" reports amount of allocated memory (as MemoryKB)
      3. Disable guest_tso4 and guest_tso6 in qemu command line and verify that allocated memory is significantly lower.
