The tx buffer would be re-allocated for tx descriptor with big size and without LS bit set, this would make guest driver could easily let qemu to allocate unlimited.
In linux host, a glib failure were easy to be triggered: GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:176: failed to allocate 18446744071562067968 bytes This patch fix this by adding a limit. As the spec didn't tell the maximum size of buffer allowed, stick it to current CP_TX_BUFFER_SIZE (65536).
