net: Always allocate at least 16 skb frags regardless of page size
When analysing performance of the cxgb3 on a ppc64 box I noticed that
we weren't doing much GRO merging. It turns out we are limited by the
number of SKB frags:
#define MAX_SKB_FRAGS (65536/PAGE_SIZE + 2)
With a 4kB page size we have 18 frags, but with a 64kB page size we
only have 3 frags.
I ran a single stream TCP bandwidth test to compare the performance of
