Max_IO is set to double from what it was before, Hyper-V allows it and
We have had appliance builder requests to see if it was a problem to increase
The number.

Ringbuffer size for storvsc is now increased because I have seen
A few buffer problems on extremely busy systems. They where
Set pretty low before. And since max_io_requests is increased I
Really needed to increase the buffer as well.

It means better throughput of high load systems, else you get buffer
Contention.

Thanks,

Hank.
