Subject[patch 02/41] ixgb: fix bug when freeing resources
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Brandeburg, Jesse <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>

commit 23e55a32ca1ffdbe7a492ef99f0e0ac48e504a13 upstream.

It was pointed out by Breno Leitao <leitao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> that
ixgb would crash on PPC when an IOMMU was in use, if change_mtu was
called.

It appears to be a pretty simple issue in the driver that wasn't discovered
because most systems don't run with an IOMMU. The driver needs to only unmap
buffers that are mapped (duh).
