Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 117980c4c9 mlx4: allocate just enough pages instead of always 4 pages
The driver uses a 2-order allocation, which is too much on architectures
like ppc64, which has a 64KiB page. This particular allocation is used
for large packet fragments that may have a size of 512, 1024, 4096 or
fill the whole allocation. So, a minimum size of 16384 is good enough
and will be the same size that is used in architectures of 4KiB sized
pages.

This will avoid allocation failures that we see when the system is under
stress, but still has plenty of memory, like the one below.

This will also allow us to set the interface MTU to higher values like
9000, which was not possible on ppc64 without this patch.
