Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: allocate ring descriptors with dma_zalloc_coherent

Descriptor rings were not initialized at zero when allocated
When area contained garbage data, it caused skb_over_panic in
e1000_clean_rx_irq (if data had E1000_RXD_STAT_DD bit set)

This patch makes use of dma_zalloc_coherent to make sure the
ring is memset at 0 to prevent the area from containing garbage.

Following is the signature of the panic:
IODDR0@0.0: skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:80407b20 len:64010 put:64010 head:ab46d800 data:ab46d842 tail:0xab47d24c end:0xab46df40 dev:eth0
