net/mlx4_core: Set CQE/EQE size to 64B by default
To achieve out of the box performance default is to use 64 byte CQE/EQE. In tests that we conduct in our labs, we achieved a performance improvement of twice the message rate. For older VF/libmlx4 support, enable_64b_cqe_eqe must be set to 0 (disabled). Signed-off-by: Eyal Perry <eyalpe@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai <amirv@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
