From: andrea merello <andrea.merello@xxxxxxxxx> During initialization a number of RX skbs are allocated and mapped for DMA. Currently if pci_map_single() fails, it will result in passing to the HW a wrong DMA address (to write to!). This patch detects this condition, eventually it tries to get a more luky skb, and if it finally fails to get things right, it makes the driver not to initialize, avoiding at least dangerous DMAs.
