There is a way to specify the max segments parameter, but bus_dma
will not automatically bounce for you... it would simply return
E2BIG, which would mean your driver would have to handle that.
Take a look at dev/ic/tulip.c, right around line 776 (in -current) to
see how the tlp driver handles situations like this.
