RXMBUF belonging to a generic VRQ, when not
a single BD is available in the VRQ's BD Cache:
00 => The RDI shall discard an RX packet
belonging to a VRQ, if no corresponding RX BD
is available in the VRQ's BD Cache
01 => RDI shall place the RX packet in the
Default VRQ instead
10 => RDI shall wait for a BD to become
available in the VRQ's BD cache, no matter how
long it takes.
11 => Reserved for future use.
