The API is ugly - how does driver know what to set?
Is this a typical request size? Then let's call it that.
Also this is really per VQ, right?
What is a good default for net? I guess max sg?

So this means that drivers need to know how large each
descriptor is to avoid trying to allocate 32Mbyte chunks :)

This looks wrong. indirect_alloc_thresh is in entries but len is in
bytes, isn't it?

I am not a purist but this line looks way too long.
Also - no need to check cache creation succeeded?
On failure - disable caching?
Also - let's check that values are sane before passing them on?
They come from user after all.
Also - should not threshold be per VQ? E.g. for -net we do not
need the cache for RX unless in legacy big packet mode.
