In standard operation mode, when the receive ring buffer
is full, the buffer actually appears empty to the driver since
the RxBufAddr (the location we wirte new data to) and RxBufPtr
(the location guest would stat reading from) are the same.
As a result, the call to rtl8139_RxBufferEmpty ends up
returning true indicating that the receive buffer is empty.
This would result in the next packet overwriting the recevie buffer
again and stalling receive operations.
This patch tracks the number of unread bytes in the rxbuffer
using an unused C+ register. On every read and write, the
number is adjsted and the special case of a full buffer is also
trapped.
The C+ register trick is used to simplify migration and not require
a new machine type. This register is not used in regular mode
and C+ mode doesn't have the same issue.
