This means that at some point during an interrupt, the driver was unable
to allocate memory for a receive buffer. If your system is under a heavy
VM load, that's certainly possible -- what kind of load is the system
under when these messages occur? A workaround for this could be to
increase the values in /proc/sys/vm/freepages, but if kswapd isn't keeping
up with the load (ie, it's not too heavy a load), it might need some more
tweaking.
