> Change VMBus channels macro (VRSS_CHANNEL_DEFAULT) in
> Linux netvsc from 8 to 16 to align with Azure Windows VM
> and improve networking throughput.
> 
> For VMs having less than 16 vCPUS, the channels depend
> on number of vCPUs. For greater than 16 vCPUs,
> set the channels to maximum of VRSS_CHANNEL_DEFAULT and
> number of physical cores / 2 which is returned by
> netif_get_num_default_rss_queues() as a way to optimize CPU
> resource utilization and scale for high-end processors with
> many cores.
> Maximum number of channels are by default set to 64.
> 
> Based on this change the channel creation would change as follows:

> -----------------------------------------------------------------
> | No. of vCPU |  dev_info->num_chn |    channels created        |
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> |    >16      |  max(16,#cores/2)  | min(64 , max(16,#cores/2)) |
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Performance tests showed significant improvement in throughput:

> - 0.83% for 32 vCPUs
> - 0.86% for 48 vCPUs
> - 9.72% for 64 vCPUs
