There seems no hard limit on number of segments per packet in the chip,
and 20 appeared insufficient. Hope 64 will be enough, but if not -- add
check to report that and drop the packet instead of corrupting stack.
The code was successfully tested with FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris and Windows
guests. This interface is predictably slower (about 2x) then virtio-net,
but it is very helpful for guests not supporting virtio-net by default.
Thanks to Jeremiah Lott and Peter Grehan for doing original heavy lifting.
