Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 3/4] igb: correctly offset 82575 flow control
	watermarks by 16 bytes

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

The watermark values for the 82575 were not being set correctly.  As a
result the high and low watermark values were set to the same value which
can lead to excess xon/xoff packets being generated.
