== SRU Justification ==
Mainline commit 89271c65ed fixes the calculation of required buffer elements for skb.
Problem: skbs of certain lengths cause qeth to miscalculate the
number of needed IO buffer elements, resulting in
malformed TX buffer descriptors. When such a buffer is
presented to the HW, it triggers a Subchannel Program
Check. qeth handles this by starting device recovery.
Solution: Fix the buffer element calculation, so that qeth builds
proper TX buffer descriptors.
== Fix ==
