From: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]>
patch 7fb7ac241162dc51ec0f7644d4a97b2855213c32 in mainline.
This fixes problems with transmit hangs on older fiber based SysKonnect boards.
Adjust ram buffer sizing calculation to make it correct on all boards
and make it like the code in sky2 driver.
This one is getting reverted in mainline in about five minutes (unless I
find an email from Stephen to address the reported regression - I haven't
gone through all my emails yet), so I don't think it should make it into
stable.

I can't reproduce the users problem with the hardware I have. And
without the patch the dual
port board doesn't work. So it is a question of regression, versus
fixing pre-existing bugs.
I am okay with reverting the patch, as a temporary state, but concerned
with how
to make progress in fixing this.
