>Description:
While debugging the bootp race with if_arge (kern/178318) i have observed another weird thing, i see some packets being queued on the tx ring and when the TX_PKT_SENT interrupt arrives the tx ring was reseted. After a while the driver panics with what looks like a leakage.

After some debug i found that if arge_stop() wont properly clean the tx ring.

So you may end with some leak of dma tags and mbufs on the following case (which was triggered by the bootp problem):

- arge_start() -> queue packets on tx ring;
- arge_init() ->disable interrupts -> arge_stop() -> wont reset properly the tx ring -> enable interrupts;
- TX_PKT_SENT interrupt received -> arge_tx() wont see anything to clear.

If this happens for a while the driver will panic due to the leakage of dma tags.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add some printf() debug to arge_init_locked():
