There must be a misunderstanding.
There are situations where it's almost _certain_ that the
kernel _will_ give out buffers of _different_ sizes.
If you have one host adaptor which does scatter/gather and
a second host adaptor which does no scatter/gather,
the first will result in a buffer of 128K and the second a
buffer of 32K.
