iwl4965: disable 8K A-MSDU by default
iwlegacy version of this iwlwifi patch: commit aed7d9ac Author: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Date: Wed Feb 20 11:33:00 2013 +0200 iwlwifi: disable 8K A-MSDU by default Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1 pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic. This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager and not using them will make the allocation code run faster although I didn't really measure. Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP to have a big Rx window. See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details. Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU. Disable this feature by default.
