Subject: [PATCH] Consume the packet even if we could not allocate a message
 block for it in the Ethernet interrupt. The BeOS version does that, likewise
 for MOL. Otherwise, we end up into an infinite loop reporting the memory
 allocation failure.

I think this is now the expected behavior as we wouldn't have stats
(num_rx_no_mem) for it if we couldn't get out of the EtherIRQ. ;-) Besides,
the packet will be resent for reliable networks.
