Hmm, IIRC this larger pad was originally required after bumping the
ISER_RECV_DATA_SEG_LEN value for handling incoming ImmediateData and
Unsolicited Data-OUT..  Will try using 12k here and see what happens..

Also, ISER_RECV_DATA_SEG_LEN will need to be enforced as the largest
MaxRecvDataSegmentLength negotiated during iser login to prevent the
initiator from exceeding the hardcoded value..

This is left-over cruft from the per isert_rx_desc dispatch into process
context..  Dropping this now.
