It looks like the patch fixed my issues - no relevant printk's appeared
since I've applied it, so apparently there is no more cloned skb splitting
or corrupted data getting to bnx2.

I used the latest variant, from Jarek's mail
<20080714212223.GA4849@....dom.local>, on the 2.6.25.6 kernel.

Thanks all!

(Now if only someone could make sure this propagates into the stable kernel
branches, since those were pretty nasty crashes...)
