Thanks Dave! I see that the new values actually match the QEIWRM
spec (except UTFS... spec recommends 2048, but it also says that
it might differ for different memory setups, though that's a
separate issue).
And FWIW, I did some quick netperf tests on MPC8360, and the
patch doesn't cause any problems.
