Subject: [net-next 02/14] e1000e: fix flow-control thresholds for jumbo frames on 82579/I217/I218

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

The previous static flow-control thresholds were causing unnecessary pause
packets to be transmitted when jumbo frames are configured reducing the
throughput.
