Description

Some JMicron firewire cards will enter into an unrecoverable state if they run out of buffer space when receiving data. This can cause the firewire-ohci module to deadlock, leaving a reboot as the only method of recovery.

I'm going ahead and setting the milestone on this one. It's a simple enough change, it just needs someone who knows the library to confirm its a sane one.

Fixes #10013. Increase maximum allowed kernel buffer size.

This is a workaround for an unnamed JMicron firewire driver. Kernel memory is precious, but 4MB isn't so huge by today's standards.
