commit d85b758f72b0 "virtio_net: fix support for small rings"
was supposed to increase the buffer size for small rings
but had an unintentional side effect of decreasing
it for large rings. This seems to break some setups -
it's not yet clear why, but increasing buffer size
back to what it was before helps.

Can reporters please confirm whether the following helps?
If it does I think we should queue it even though I expect I'll need to
investigate the exact reasons for the failure down the road - probably
a hypervisor bug.

I may be bikeshedding, but, personally I never do the parens--they're
redundant given the quotes, and space is often tight.
