Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH] e1000: allow option to limit number of
	descriptors down to 48 per ring

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

This change makes it possible to limit the number of descriptors down to 48
per ring.  The reason for this change is to address a variation on hardware
errata 10 for 82546GB in which descriptors will be lost if more than 32
descriptors are fetched and the PCI-X MRBC is 512.
