bnx2x: Alloc 4k fragment for each rx ring buffer element

The driver allocates one page for each buffer on the rx ring, which is
too much on architectures like ppc64 and can cause unexpected allocation
failures when the system is under stress.  Now, we keep a memory pool
per queue, and if the architecture's PAGE_SIZE is greater than 4k, we
fragment pages and assign each 4k segment to a ring element, which
reduces the overall memory consumption on such architectures.  This
helps avoiding errors like the example below:
