Currently to RX jumbo packets fails for NICs not supporting scatter.
Scatter is not strictly needed for jumbo RX support. This change fixes
the issue by only enabling scatter for NICs known to need it to
support jumbo RX. Add a quirk for "igb" while the PMD is fixed.

Changelog:
v3->v2:
- only check for driver_name
- tested with "nfp" and not with "igb"
