[PATCH] sky2: receive queue watermark tweak
This patch makes the receive performance on some systems go from
714MB/s to 941MB/s. It adjusts the watermark of the receive queue
to be lower, thereby avoiding excess hardware flow control. This is
most important on the systems which have little/no additional buffering.
