This ethtool output refers to TX scatter gather, which is not relevant
for this bug.

I see ENA driver might use 16 KB per incoming packet (if ENA_PAGE_SIZE is 16 KB)

Since I can not reproduce this problem with another NIC on x86, I
really wonder if this is not an issue with ENA driver on PowerPC
perhaps ?
