Michael Brown e9efbcd84c [rtl8139] Check for oversized packets when transmitting 
An attempt to transmit a packet of 8192 bytes or larger will collide
with the status bits in the TX descriptor.  This gives the appearance
of the network card's transmit data path having just suddenly stopped
responding; iPXE is waiting for the card to report a TX completion
but, because of the status bit collision, the card thinks that the
descriptor has not yet been written.

Fix by explicitly checking for oversized packets in rtl_transmit().

Discovered during Fibre Channel over Ethernet testing, and debugged by
using gdb to examine the state of the emulated rtl8139 card in qemu.
