The fourth ethernet will cause all of interface broken,
you cann't ping successfully any more.

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.

David,

How about this patch? Please consider to pick it up to your tree.

Thanks, Dave
