You're really destroying cache locality, and making things overly
complicated, by having two arrays.  Actually this is now the third in
this structure alone.  That's crazy.

Just have one array for the TX ring software state:

struct tx_buff_info {
	struct sk_buff	*skb;
	dma_addr_t	dma_addr;
	unsigned int	size;
};

Then in the per-cpu TX struct:

	struct tx_buff_info	*info;

This way every data access by the cpu for processing a ring entry
will be localized, increasing cache hit rates.

This also significantly simplifies the code that allocates and
frees this memory.
