Subject: [net-2.6 v2 5/7] ixgbe: DDP last buffer size work around

From: Amir Hanania <amir.hanania@...el.com>

We found a hardware erratum on 82599 hardware that can lead to buffer
overwriting if the last buffer in FCoE DDP is exactly PAGE_SIZE.
If this is the case, we will make sure that there is no HW access to
this buffer.

Please see the 82599 Specification Update for more information.
