today I got this dma-debug warning with the ixgbe driver with a kernel

Hi Joerg, thanks for the report, I thought we had fixed all of these 
already but we must have missed this one.

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at /data/repos/linux-2.6-iommu/lib/dma-debug.c:806
check_unmap+0x214/0x5c3()
Hardware name: Toonie
ixgbe 0000:02:00.0: DMA-API: device driver frees DMA memory with
different size [device address=0x0000000000045c12] [map size=258
bytes] [unmap size=256 bytes]

The following patch should fix it, compile tested only, but it is pretty 
straight forward.

ixgbe: fix map length bug

From: Jesse Brandeburg <redacted>

ixgbe is mapping more than it unmaps, reduce the length of the map call and
remove the "used once" local variable.

found by Joerg Roedel [off-list ref] in 2.6.30, so is a candidate for
-stable.
