As discussed in many patches before, there is no definition of "soft
slices" anyhwere.  Unless we can have that, and reference it, this
should more clearly explain what it means or leave out the word "soft"
altogether.

Either rename this all to slice_per_pkt, or rename the above comment to
slice_per_packet.

After improving on that:

We all learned the wrong thing initially, thanks for clearing up that
slice_count != slice_per_pkt.
