The patch only affects the wired Ethernet driver, so 802.11n packet
aggregation does not apply here. TSO and friends could apply in theory,
but either is unsupported or disabled in this case. The wireless side
is handled by the ath9k driver instead, where I know nothing about the
upper limits on MTU. Depending on the cards used by the clients, the
maximum MTU may be limited to 1500 even if the ath9k driver can cope.
