This is a lot of boilerplate code to write for such a simple variable.

BTW, there are a lot of drivers that use rx_copybreak idea. Some time
ago, I tried to unify rx packet handling, but got into too many leafs
of the theme.You could google up 'rx_copybreak handling' if you'd like
to revive the idea.
