A few questions come to mind as I read re_rxeof():
Does the hardware always respect the buffer length that NetBSD writes to
the Rx descriptors? Buffer-overrun bugs do happen, even in hardware.
How many fragments do the oversize frames come in?
The driver seems to expect that !RE_RDESC_STAT_EOF is mutually exclusive
with RE_RDESC_STAT_RXERRSUM. Maybe that is not really so?
