Not clearing those settings results in ~420Mbps *improvement* in throughput; this system can now receive frames at line-rate on Broadcom 5871x hardware compared to ~520Mbps today. I also tested a few other values but found there to be no discernible difference in CPU utilization even if burst size and prefetching values are different. On the hardware tested there was no need to keep the code that cleared all but bits 16-17, but since there is a wide variety of hardware that used this driver (I did not look at all hardware docs for hardware using this IP block), I find it wise to move this call up and clear bits just after reading the default value from the hardware rather than completely removing it. This is a good candidate for -stable >=3.14 since that is when the code that was supposed to improve performance (but did not) was introduced.
