the el flag but we leave the size was 0 bit set. This was we can find
this buffer again later.
If the hardware sees the el-bit cleared without the size set, it will
move on to the next buffer and skip this one. If it sees
the size set but the el-bit still set, it will complete that buffer
and then RNR interrupt and wait.

That seems to vaguely match my memory of what eepro100 was doing (or
trying to do).
I _really_ appreciate you working on this problem. Getting e100 driver
stable for the long term, and ditching eepro100, is a big hurdle to
cross. Getting this right is really one of the last steps.
yes, absolutely agreed. I'm very pleased with the attention and hope that is
clear to everyone.
The patch looks OK at quick glance.
Besides copying the style errors, it looks OK as well. I will attempt to
allocate some testing time again early next week on a small library of e100 nics
over here. Mostly x86, but still useful to spot obvious mistakes.
