Thanks for clarification,
your use case is about indirect mbufs, I can see why it is not working from your
explanation in the bug report.
I think previously when all mbufs were coming from same physically continuous
memory, indirect mbufs should work. Right now I don't know how to support them.

This defect fixes an issue for multi segment packages, caused by wrong address
calculation for next segments.

So I am for continuing with this patch, independent from indirect mbufs issue.

Do you have any other issue, except than the indirect mbuf issue, if you have
other KNI use cases?
