The size of the incoming frame is not correctly checked.

The RxMaxSize register (0xDA) does not work as expected and incoming
frames whose size exceeds the MTU actually end spanning multiple
descriptors. The first Rx descriptor contains the size of the whole
frame (or some garbage in its place). The driver does not expect 
something above the space allocated to the current skb and crashes
loudly when it issues a skb_put.

The fix contains two parts:
- disable hardware Rx size filtering: so far it only proved to be able
  to trigger some new fancy errors;
- drop multi-descriptors frame: as the driver allocates MTU sized Rx
  buffers, it provides an adequate filtering.

As a bonus, wrong descriptors were not returned to the asic after their
processing.
