[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] virtio-serial-bus: Bump up control vq descriptors to min. required

[Amit Shah]

The current default of 16 buffers for the control vq is too small for
the default max_nr_ports of 32.  We can get more entries in there,
example when asking the guest to add max. allowed ports.

Default to using the minimum required (next power of 2) of the
max_nr_ports in use.

v2:
 Make the descriptor entries depend on the max_nr_ports being used to
prevent wastage.  This also copes up with any future enhancing of
max_supported_ports to higher values.
