> Tx side sets EOP and RS bits on descriptors to indicate that a particular descriptor is
> the last one and needs to generate an irq when it was sent. These bits should not be
> checked on completion path regardless whether it's the Tx or the Rx. DD bit serves
> this purpose and it indicates that a particular descriptor is either for Rx or was
> successfully Txed. EOF is also set as loopback test does not xmit fragmented
> frames.
