Network Bad Kernel Access

[John Linn]

I'm not using DRE and CSUM yet. I have seen some weirdness similar to
that but hard to reproduce reliably to chase it. 

I tend to see it with heavy traffic also, so maybe it's not related to
DRE & CSUM. I am running DMA.

I'm seeing the same behavior on my platform except that I get it
almost immediately after bringing up the Ethernet interface.  I've
only just started to debug this.  The bug showed up when DMA+DRE+CSUM
were enabled on the core.

Stephen, John; does any of this look familiar?
