The e100 driver triggers BUG_ON(buf->direction != dir)
by doing pci_map_single(..., PCI_DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL)
and pci_dma_sync_single_for_device(..., PCI_DMA_TODEVICE).

I'm guessing it's allowed to do that and that something like
the patch below is called for?
No, it is not allowed to do that - that's why it's called "BUG_ON".
Changing the DMA direction, especially with dmabounce will result
in unexpected behaviour.
okay, how about this patch...  only compile tested as I couldn't get 
net-next-2.6 to boot on my test machine.  I'll get some testing done on 
this, but in the meantime....
