Hello, the parameter  ETH_MAX_PACKET limited to 1500 bytes is the not
support jumbo frames.

This patch change ETH_MAX_PACKET the 65535 bytes to jumbo frame support
with user mode linux tuntap driver.

The vector version for tap already allows mtu > 1500. It does not have a 
check to limit it to 65535 max though and it should.

I will add this one to the queue of stuff for the network drivers. IMHO 
we should start migrating some of the older ones to vector IO.

This does not quite work because in some of the drivers you get extra 
added on top of this constant.

I am going to see what can be done to fix the old net* drivers, imho we 
should start phasing them out in favor of the vector ones.

In fact it does not work even for lower values because the old net_ 
family assumes a contiguous skb buffer and uses read/write functions 
which read the whole packet into it at once. That is the buffer it get 
if it asks for anything less than SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(PAGE_SIZE).

If it asks for more there is no guarantee that the resulting buffer will 
be contiguous - it may get a segmented skb and will need to use 
appropriate functions to read/write into segments.

If you just up the MTU without fixing the underlying transport you get 
memory corruption.

If we are to support this I have to rewrite the whole driver set and it 
will frankly be easier to just make them use vector drivers underneath 
and set the names to be ethX instead.

In fact, I will probably do a patch that does that the moment I finish 
adding all existing socket transports to vector_user.c.
