  The size of the incoming frame is not correctly checked.
  
  The RxMaxSize register (0xDA) does not work as expected and incoming
  frames whose size exceeds the MTU actually end spanning multiple
  descriptors. The first Rx descriptor contains the size of the whole
  frame (or some garbage in its place). The driver does not expect
  something above the space allocated to the current skb and crashes
  loudly when it issues a skb_put.
  
  The fix contains two parts:
  - disable hardware Rx size filtering: so far it only proved to be able
    to trigger some new fancy errors;
  - drop multi-descriptors frame: as the driver allocates MTU sized Rx
    buffers, it provides an adequate filtering.
  
  As a bonus, wrong descriptors were not returned to the asic after their
  processing.

This patch changes calls to synchronize_kernel(), deprecated in the earlier
"Deprecate synchronize_kernel, GPL replacement" patch to instead call the new
synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_sched() APIs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
