From: Nicholas Graumann <nick.graumann@xxxxxxxxx> The driver should not run out of tx segments in normal operation. But, if the user attempts to prepare a transaction with a large sg list, the driver may not have enough free segments to accommodate the request. Log a message at the debug level to inform the user in case they are experiencing issues.
