    ixgbe: change MAX_RXD/MAX_TXD based on adapter type · 864f8888

    Set the length limit for the receive descriptor buffer and transmit
    descriptor buffer based on the controller type. The values used are called
    out in the controller datasheets as a 'Note:' in the RDLEN and TDLEN
    register descriptions.
    
    This allows the user to use ethtool to allocate larger descriptor buffers
    in the case where data is received or transmitted too quickly for the
    driver to keep up.
