NTBs shorter than this limit are transmitted + as-is, without any padding, and are terminated with a + short USB packet. + + Padding to tx_max allows the driver to transmit NTBs + back-to-back without any interleaving short USB + packets. This reduces the number of short packet + interrupts in the device, and represents a tradeoff + between USB bus bandwidth and device DMA optimization. + + Set to 0 to pad all frames.
