[PATCH 13/16 v3] ibmveth: Automatically enable larger rx buffer pools for larger mtu

[Robert Jennings]

From: Santiago Leon <santil at us.ibm.com>

Activates larger rx buffer pools when the MTU is changed to a larger
value.  This patch de-activates the large rx buffer pools when the MTU
changes to a smaller value.
