IB/mthca: Disable tuning PCI read burst size
The PCI spec recommends against drivers playing with a device's PCI read burst size, and says that systems software should configure it. And we actually have users that report that changing it from the default set by BIOS hurts performance and/or stability for them. On the other hand, the Mellanox Programmer's Reference Manual recommends turning it up all the way to the maximum value. Some tests conducted here in the lab do not show performance improvement from this tuning, but this might be just me. As a work-around, make this tuning an option, off by default (safe value), with an eye towards removing it completely one day if no one complains. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
