    Software writes poison data into the descriptor bytes[15:8] and upon
    receiving the interrupt, if those bytes are overwritten by the hardware with
    the valid data, software also reads bytes[7:0] and executes receive/tx
    completion logic.
    
    If the CPU executes the above two reads in out of order fashion, then the
    bytes[7:0] will have older data and causing the kernel panic.  We have to
    force the order of the reads and thus this patch introduces read memory
    barrier between these reads.
