The background is that to handle it properly a lot of work is necessary.
I might point to dev/ic/i82557.c (fxp_add_rfabuf) for precedence. Let me
put it the other way around, how shall I properly handle this case? I
can't load the new mbuf, but I can't also reload the old mbuf.

Under which circumstances is a preallocated mapping allowed to fail,
which isn't also a programming erorr? I can't think of any.
