Hi Jason,

Thanks for the comments, please see inline.

I thought the note described the change, I will try harder next time.

There was already RXE_MAX_SGE defined so I did not define MAX_WQE. If 
that is what is preference I can submit a patch with that. What is a 
good value for MAX_WQE?

Yes that is what it is dong same as mlx5 which takes the larger of the 
two values reqquested and bumps the other. I will submit a separate patch.

I used a separate variable as I would have to repeat the calculation 
twice. I do not understand your comment about double initialization, can 
you please clarify that for me.
