this is the problem:
/* Always check for received packets. */ sgiseeq_rx(dev, sp, hregs, sregs);so the driver will look at the rx descriptor on every interrupt, so we cache the rx descriptor on the first interrupt and if there was $no rx packet, we will only see it, if cache line gets flushed for some other reason.
That means a transfer back to device ownership is missing after a (negative) check.
kick_tx() does a busy loop checking tx descriptors, with just sync_desc_cpu...
