Commit 7143740d ("IPoIB: Add send gather support") made struct
ipoib_tx_buf significantly larger, since the mapping member changed
from a single u64 to an array with MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 entries. This
means that allocating tx_rings with kzalloc() may fail because there
is not enough contiguous memory for the new, much bigger size. Fix
this regression by allocating the rings with vmalloc() instead.

I've also tentatively queued this up for 2.6.25, since it fixes a
regression introduced by making the tx_ring much bigger.
While writing this patch, I noticed that we seem to waste a lot of
memory for connected mode tx_rings, since there's no way we would ever
use gather sends with the current code. Does it make sense to use a
different tx_buf structure for 2.6.26 to shrink the memory use back down?
