Do you really have to copy each single frame? Copying is an expensive 
operation that you normally want to avoid on the fast path.

This is already done by eth_type_trans() below (as I already mentioned 
in a review of a former version of this driver).

Why not return immediately?

Same here.

In which case can self be NULL?

__packed should be avoided if possible. There are macros like
__cacheline_aligned that can be used to ensure cacheline alignment.
