Subject: [net-next PATCH 2/2] ixbge: fix bug when using large pages and jumbo
	frames

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

it was pointed out on the list that ixgbe was failing when using 64kB pages
and large 16kB MTU.

since with a 64kB PAGE_SIZE MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 3, the way the driver was
configuring page usage was assuming 2kB is half a page, and was only
ever dmaing that much data to a half page.

(16kB - header size) / 2048 = 7 or 8 pages, which would far exceed 3

adjust the driver to account for these large pages, the hardware can
support DMA to up to 16kB for each descriptor.
