e1000: allow option to limit number of descriptors down to 48 per ring

This change makes it possible to limit the number of descriptors down to 48
per ring.  The reason for this change is to address a variation on hardware
errata 10 for 82546GB in which descriptors will be lost if more than 32
descriptors are fetched and the PCI-X MRBC is 512.
