For the records, I tried increasing the max kmalloc size too. 512 kB
buffers work nicely. 1024 kB buffers work too, but /proc/buddyinfo
shows they are rare, so I can't ask for too many buffers, and maybe at
some point they will no longer be available.

Still, this demonstrates that there would be a practical benefit in
removing this arbitrary 128 kB limit from the driver. I'll try to come
up with a patch tomorrow.
