Thread-topic:	Maximum number of ring slots a packet can take up in netfront/netback?

Looking through the code for netback.c, I believe that the maximum
number of ring slots a network packet can take up is MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 18?

Is this the case? That would explain why I've been having so much
trouble with the windows PV drivers - they routinely put over 20 slots
on the ring.

James
