The VMXNet3 protocol has a start-of-packet (SOP) and end-of-packet (EOP)
marker. If there was a bug where mbuf arrived without SOP the code that
chains the mbuf would dereference a null pointer.
Also, record any mbuf's dropped in statistics.
Although did the initial code no longer have access to VMware.
Compile tested only!
