Thats not how b44_rx() works :

It writes on DMARX_PTR the last slot that driver _dequeued_ in its NAPI
run. Its not the end of the window that device is allowed to use.

bw32(bp, B44_DMARX_PTR, cons * sizeof(struct dma_desc));

The end of the 'allocated buffers' is in rx_prod. Problem is NIC have no
idea of where is the end of window. We never give rx_prod to NIC.

So NIC actually read old descriptors value. We need to clear them to
avoid memory corruption.
