Easy, the driver is already allocating them right now so we don't
have to change a thing :)

All we have to do is change the refill mechanism to always allocate
a replacement skb in the rx path, and if that fails, allocate a
fragmented skb instead and copy the received data into it so that
the contiguous skb can be reused.

Cheers,
