We don't really have a max tx packet size limit, so allow configuring
the device with up to 64k tx MTU.

Rusty, ACK?

If so, I'll toss this into net-next-2.6, thanks!

Hi Mark,

Just one comment: maybe we should be conservative and maybe limit to 1500 if 
the host doesn't offer any of the GSO or MRG_RXBUF features?

Thanks,
Rusty.
