Subject: [net-next v2 3/4] e1000: look in the page and not in skb->data for the last byte

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

The code seems to want to look at the last byte where the HW puts some
information. Since the skb->data area is never seen by the HW I guess it
does not work as expected. We pass the page address to the HW so I
*think* in order to get to the last byte where the information might be
one should use the page buffer and take a look.
This is of course not more than just compile tested.
