On this hardware there's no way of conveying additional frame 
information, such as original va/pa behind the dma address. We have also 
pondered on the idea of keeping this in some kind of data structure but 
could not find a lock-less solution which obviously would bring 
performance to the ground.
I'll let my colleagues maintaining these ethernet drivers to get into 
more details, if required.
