This is a configuration set by application. So application is failing itself
because of configuration it sets, seems odd.

I guess the jumbo frame can be enabled when user provides '--enable-jumbo'
argument. What do you think adding above check where that argument is parsed.

Btw, no need to enable scattered Rx if the packets fits into buffer, so above
check can be done slightly different:

if (max_rx_pkt_len > buffer_size)
	if (OFFLOAD_SCATTER supported)
		enable OFFLOAD_SCATTER
	else
		fail
