ixgbe_recv_scattered_pkts was set to be the rx function. Receiving packets
smaller than mbuf size works perfectly. However, if an incoming packet is
greater than the maximum acceptable length of one =E2=80=9Cmbuf=E2=80=9D da=
ta size,
receiving does not work. In this case, isn't it supposed to use
mbuf chaining to receive?

The port has both jumbo_frame and enable_scatter being on. are these two
flags good enough to make mbuf chaining going?
