]                     txp[i].next = &txp[(i + 1) & FXP_TXCB_MASK];

I would suggest a less than myopic examination of the subject
line.

In particular, I saw a repeatable panic under extremely heavy
load.

Please consider the case where there are two mbuf chains being
transmitted, which look like this:

                        A       B

        header          O       O
                         \     /
                          \   /
                           \ /
        data 1              O
                            |
        data 2              O
                            |
        data 3              O
