ionic: restrict received packets to mtu size

Browse source

Make sure the NIC drops packets that are larger than the
specified MTU.

The front end of the NIC will accept packets larger than MTU and
will copy all the data it can to fill up the driver's posted
buffers - if the buffers are not long enough the packet will
then get dropped.  With the Rx SG buffers allocagted as full
pages, we are currently setting up more space than MTU size
available and end up receiving some packets that are larger
than MTU, up to the size of buffers posted.  To be sure the
NIC doesn't waste our time with oversized packets we need to
lie a little in the SG descriptor about how long is the last
SG element.

At dealloc time, we know the allocation was a page, so the
deallocation doesn't care about what length we put in the
descriptor.
