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.
