OK, this will be considered in the next patch.

Why is there a limit of 32? I'm not quite clear on the implications of these,
Did I miss something?

Yes, I did consider this approach, but I abandoned it because it would lose
the performance advantages of lock-free operations(RCU read)

this section of code only enters when it's unable to acquire any TX
descriptors and
xsk_full_count > 0.
