Apparently it is happening somewhere here:

[...]
0xc028cbe5 <net_rx_action+1135>:        test   %eax,%eax
0xc028cbe7 <net_rx_action+1137>:        je     0xc028ca82 <net_rx_action+780>
0xc028cbed <net_rx_action+1143>:        mov    %esi,%eax
0xc028cbef <net_rx_action+1145>:        shr    $0xc,%eax
0xc028cbf2 <net_rx_action+1148>:        mov    %eax,(%esp)
0xc028cbf5 <net_rx_action+1151>:        call   0xc028c4c4 <free_mfn>
0xc028cbfa <net_rx_action+1156>:        mov    $0xffffffff,%ecx
^^^^^^^^^^
0xc028cbff <net_rx_action+1161>:        jmp    0xc028ca82 <net_rx_action+780>
0xc028cc04 <net_rx_action+1166>:        call   0xc02c59fe <net_ratelimit>
0xc028cc09 <net_rx_action+1171>:        test   %eax,%eax
0xc028cc0b <net_rx_action+1173>:        jne    0xc028cc47 <net_rx_action+1233>
0xc028cc0d <net_rx_action+1175>:        mov    0xc0378b60,%eax
[...]


which is, I presume, reflected by this section within net_rx_action():


[...]
        /* Check the reassignment error code. */
        status = NETIF_RSP_OKAY;
        if ( unlikely(mcl[1].args[5] != 0) )
        {
            DPRINTK("Failed MMU update transferring to DOM%u\n", netif->domid);
            free_mfn(mdata >> PAGE_SHIFT);
            status = NETIF_RSP_ERROR;
        }
[...]
