This is very hardcodish. Why not limit the Page Pool size when creating
instead? It's perfectly fine to have a queue with 64k descriptors and a
Page Pool with only ("only" :D) 16k elements.
Page Pool size affects only the size of the embedded ptr_ring, which is
used for indirect (locking) recycling. I would even recommend to not go
past 2k for PP sizes, it makes no sense and only consumes memory.
