Hmm... any reason its not 2.25K per buffer ? (assuming MTU=1500)

Do you really need this code in ixgbe_set_rx_buffer_len() ?

                /*
                 * Make best use of allocation by using all but 1K of a
                 * power of 2 allocation that will be used for skb->head.
                 */
                else if (max_frame <= IXGBE_RXBUFFER_3K)
                        rx_buf_len = IXGBE_RXBUFFER_3K;
                else if (max_frame <= IXGBE_RXBUFFER_7K)
                        rx_buf_len = IXGBE_RXBUFFER_7K;
                else if (max_frame <= IXGBE_RXBUFFER_15K)
                        rx_buf_len = IXGBE_RXBUFFER_15K;
                else
                        rx_buf_len = IXGBE_MAX_RXBUFFER;

Why not using :
		rx_buf_len = max_frame;

and let kmalloc() do its best ?
