OK. I didn't have any preference for one or the other way and I randomly 
chose to use enum, but since you seem to have one (and hard to disagree 
with), I will change this patch to use #define.

As we're at it, is there any reason to choose this particular number of 
LLis? I have calculated it from the buffer size defined originally, but I 
wonder if 512 LLIs for single transfer isn't too much?

OK.

Thanks.
