Hi John,

I grabbed your branch (which doesn't build BTW due to libbe(3): Fix 
mis-application of patch (SHLIBDIR) so I just reverted it).

The kernel doesn't panic in this scenario - it just that the packets are 
being dropped. So I added a kdb_backtrace right before the return 
(EAGAIN) in mlx5e_xmit:
