Wow, this driver was really buggy.

Patch is not complete.

Instead of :

priv->rx_buf_size = RX_BUF_SIZE +
SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info));

I think rx_buf_size can now be RX_BUF_SIZE

Another point is that priv->stats seems not needed, as ndev->stats could
be used instead (and remove moxart_mac_get_stats())
