Hi,
The E100 device can't work on current kernel (2.6.26-rc6) and will cause
kernel corruption on intel ixdp4xx. This patch fix this regression.

e100: Do pci_dma_sync after skb_alloc for proper operation on ixp4xx
Do a DMA sync after we've allocated a new skb and link it with the previous
RFD. Otherwise the previous RFD may reference the previously freed skb
and cause kernel corruption.
Previously there was such a DMA sync at this place, but it was removed
by commit 7734f6e6bcd7ba78b00e93e74a4ddafd9886cdea.
Restoring this sync operation eliminates the regression.
