I'm looking into this. Quite a baffling problem though. I have no idea what
causes the last 4 bytes  to change slightly (6c 6b 6b a3). Perhaps the patch 
only changed the timings to uncloak a lurking bug.. 
struct sk_buff has users as it's last member, so perhaps there is a preempt
point in dmapool that triggers a race with the rx path.

I'll try to reproduce this..
