Than it is very strange, why would it want to do order-3 allocation,
since its allocation size is calculated as follows:
rx_size = bp->dev->mtu + ETH_HLEN + bp->rx_offset + 8;
bp->rx_buf_use_size = rx_size;
/* hw alignment */
bp->rx_buf_size = bp->rx_buf_use_size + BNX2_RX_ALIGN

where rx_offset is 18 bytes and BNX2_RX_ALIGN is 16 bytes.
Network stack adds small structure at the end too, but it should not
jump out of 0-order allocation.
