Does the swapping actually work?
In sh_eth_rx(), it's called before dma_unmap_single(), without calling
dma_sync_single_for_cpu() first.
Shouldn't it be called after the unmap instead?

In addition, why is it passed the dma_addr converted to virt, while the skb
address is available?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
