   In this case we know the size of the packet and therefore only need to handle that.
   In the other cases we don't know have big the receiving packet is going to be, so we has to
   take care of the whole buffer.

When you unmap a DMA buffer, which is a resource so this is just like
freeing memory, you must specify the exact size you used when creating
the mapping to begin with.
