[Intel-wired-lan] Potential bio_vec networking/igb size dependency?

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

Been working on a change today that changes struct bio_vec, and it works
fine on the storage side. But when I boot the box with the change, I
can't ssh in. If I attempt to use networking on the box (eg to update
packages), it looks like the data is corrupt. Basic things work - I can
dhcp and get an IP and so on, but ssh in yields:

ssh -v box

I've got a vm image that I boot on my laptop, and that seems to
work fine. Hence I'm thinking maybe it's an igb issue? But for the
life of me, I cannot figure out wtf it is. I've looked at the skb_frag_t
uses and nothing pops out at me.

Trivial to reproduce, just add the below patch.
