Could you try the patch below to show maybe some other users of
dma-debug entries?

With the default # entries & dma_debug_driver=sky2:

6:00 is eth0 & 4:00 is eth1.

Jan 30 23:53:14 mail kernel: DMA-API: 0000:06:00.0: entries: 31961
...

I put a printk as a third else case in sky2_tx_unmap. Looks like the 
issue is that a large number (perhaps all) calls to sky2_tx_unmap have 
re->flags set to neither TX_MAP_SINGLE or TX_MAP_PAGE. Thus the 
elements are never being unmapped.

I suspect that the system collapses when using DMAR sooner than if not 
using DMAR. Probably some hardware limitation on the number of mapped 
elements that is less than the software limitation. I don't see at 
present how a ring element can ever get to this code without re->flags 
being set to one or the other.

Put some more debugging code in... re->flags is always NULL upon entry 
to sky2_tx_unmap.
