I just have a clarifying question.  Here, the RX buffer was received and 
then
dma_sync'd to the CPU.  Now, it is going to be recycled for RX again; 
does it
actually need to be sync'd back to the device?

I'm asking since several of the other network drivers (mellanox, for 
example)
don't resync the buffer back to the device when recycling it for reuse.
