I have uploaded a new patch.  It should fix the mbuf leak problem, makes
it so bus_dmamap_create() and bus_dmamap_destroy() are called only one
time and not everytime we map a new mbuf as you suggested, adds some
missing error handling in the xl_encap() and xl_encap_90xB() functions
and fixes a few minor nits.

The URL is still http://mu.org/~mux/if_xl.patch.  If people with cards
prior than 90xB could test it, it would help me a lot since I don't have
any of those cards.  Also, I'm interested in benchmarks before/after
applying this patch.  I think and hope there shouldn't be any measurable
difference :-).

Cheers,
Maxime
