Log Message:
RX buffers are malloced memory of 9216 bytes. This can require from 1 to
4 DMA memory segments, depending on how the buffer is in memory.
When receiving a packet, we allocate a new one to remplace the one we've
used. It can need more segments than the one it remplace, leading to
corrution of the RX descriptors, and a panic in bus_dmamap_sync() (DIAGNOSTIC
kernels) or possibly memory corruption.
Fix:
- bnx_get_buf() allocates as many buffer as possible, checking the number
of free RX descriptors. Because one receive buffer is not guaranteed to
be remplaced on receive, call bnx_get_buf() from bnx_tick() too.
This also improve error handling from bnx_get_buf().
- use MCLGET() instead of MEXTMALLOC() if we're running with the standard
ethernet MTU. This gives us more receive buffers and waste less memory.
