I have rebased the branch for this, but for now it will just panic sooner
I believe by tripping an assertion.  Can you grab the diff (or just the branch)
from the 'send_tags' branch at github/bsdjhb/freebsd and reproduce under a
kernel with INVARIANTS?  I think we will have to explicitly clear the 'rcvif'
pointer somewhere, but I want to see what the stack trace looks like so I can
think about the "right" place to clear it.
