How much does that actually help?
In principle there is no limit to the length of an ethernet frame.
So the code has to handle overlong packets whatever the receive
buffer size is set to.
Modern ethernet hardware probably has configurable rx frame length
limits - but with old hardware the drivers had to handle frames
longer than 'buffer_size * ring_size'.
