It only does that after a reset, and since reset should set the values
to 0 (I don't think the spec says that, but it will for the new config)
we needn't do it at all.

It's just a convenient value for the driver to read and know the ring
has been cleaned up.

I think initialize by QueueNum makes sense.

Thanks,
