Summary

The latest generation hardware requires IO CQ (completion queue)
descriptors memory to be aligned to a 4K. It needs that feature for
the best performance.

Allocating unaligned descriptors will have a big performance impact as
the packet processing in a HW won't be optimized properly.

It's a critical fix, especially for the arm64 EC2 instances.
