Based on performance tests, increasing the maximum inline can result in a 
significant decrease in overall bandwidth.  So, I don't believe that we want 
providers to increase max_inline automatically to what could be supported.

I'm not sure what to do here, given that the documentation and behaviors do not 
match.  But having a consistent behavior would help.  I guess user space 
providers could work around the issue by allocating internal buffers, 
registering them, and copying the user data into them on inline sends.
