We can specify the upper limit to jpeg after which it stops the
conversion and DMA transfer
inbetween. At this time, we need to start a new DMA transfer with a
separate buffer.

Obviously, for all packets leaving the last, this upper limit is the
size of data transferred before
stopping DMA. But for the last packet we don't how much data will be
there (<= upper limit)
