My point is that I have a hard time believing that a DMA failure would 
likely result the driver politely detecting the problem and exiting 
properly.  I just don't think it's realistic to expect that.

Now maybe it's better for a catastrophic failure to occur when the 
driver loads instead of during some critical network operation.
