Hmmm... e1000 calls skb_trim() on both jumbo and non-jumbo ring
buffers which get recycled.

At least for the Jumbo case, that's illegal as you cannot call
skb_trim() on an SKB with paged data.

But this assertion is triggering for the non-jumbo ring where
only linear packets should be present as far as I can tell.

Some Intel folks need to take a look, CC:'d, and people need
to CC: their networking bug reports to netdev@vger.kernel.org
so that the proper folks see it.

Thanks.
