Subject: [PATCH v2 8/8] vsock/virtio: make the RX buffer size tunable

The RX buffer size determines the memory consumption of the
vsock/virtio guest driver, so we make it tunable through
a module parameter.

The size allowed are between 4 KB and 64 KB in order to be
compatible with old host drivers.
