The recv cache is to allocate 125MiB memory to reserve for NIC.
In the past time, this recv cache works very well. When the memory
is not enough, this recv cache reserves memory for NIC.
And the communications through this NIC is not affected by the
memory shortage. And the performance of NIC is better because of
this recv cache.
But this recv cache reserves 125MiB memory for one NIC port. Normally
there are 2 NIC ports in one card. So in a host, there are about 250
MiB memory reserved for NIC ports. To a host on which communications
are not mandatory, it is not necessary to reserve memory.
So this recv cache is disabled by default.
