      The descriptor table is currently the same size and the available and used rings, but there's no reason it has to be that way.

      Arguments for independent sizing:
      1) Ring will be underutilized by some factor if each entry uses multiple descriptors.

      Arguments for:
      1) It's simple.
      2) Indirect descriptors allow a single descriptor per entry anyway.
