The maximum mount contiguous memory regions for FreeBSD is limited by RTE_CONTIGMEM_MAX_NUM_BUFS, a pointer to each region is stored in static void * contigmem_buffers[RTE_CONTIGMEM_MAX_NUM_BUFS] A user can specify a greater amount via hw.contigmem.num_buffers, while the allocation logic will prevent this allocation from occuring the logic in contigmem_unload() will attempt to free hw.contigmem.num_buffers and an overrun occurs. This patch limits the freeing to a maximum of RTE_CONTIGMEM_MAX_NUM_BUFS.
