Log:
  iflib: netmap: publish all the receive buffer
  
  At initialization time, the netmap RX refill function used to
  prepare the NIC RX ring with N-1 buffers rather than N (with
  N equal to the number of descriptors in the NIC RX ring).
  This is not how netmap is supposed to work, as it would keep
  kring->nr_hwcur not in sync with the NIC "next index to refill"
  (i.e., fl->ifl_pidx). Instead we prepare N buffers, although we
  still publish (with isc_rxd_flush()) only the first N-1 buffers,
  to avoid the NIC producer pointer to overrun the NIC consumer
  pointer (for NICs where this is a real issue, e.g. Intel ones).

-        * all the buffers owned by the kernel).
-        * We thus set head (the refill limit) to nr_hwcur - 1
-        * at initialization. The rest of the code will then make sure
-        * than nr_hwtail never overcomes nr_hwcur.
