[PATCH 1/3] vmxnet3: support mult-segment receive

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemming@brocade.com>

The vmxnet3 interface specification supports having multiple
receive rings. The first ring has buffers of BTYPE_HEAD which
are used for the start of the packet, the second ring has buffers
of type BTYPE_BODY which are used only if the received packet
exceeds the available space of the head buffer.  There can
zero or more body buffers for one packet.

What the driver does is post mbuf's to both rings. If a jumbo
frame is received; then a multi-segment mbuf is created and this
is returned. The previous version of the driver was filling both
rings, but the second ring was never used. It would error out
if it ever received a multi-segment mbuf.

The logic is very similar to existing methods used in other
OS's. This patch has been used internally by several companies
and users for several releases and tested with Jumbo frames.
