This is doing the mapping and ev. dropping the skb _after_ pushing the
skb up the stack, you must attempt the mapping first.

I suspect that on error paths mtip_free_buffers() can be invoked
multiple consecutive times with any successful allocation in between:
skb will be freed twice. Likely you need to clear fep->rx_skbuff[i] here.

Side note: this patch is way too big for a proper review: you need to
break it in multiple smaller ones, introducing the basic features
separately.

Cheers,

Paolo
