This does not look safe. netif_tx_disable(dev) will stop new
transmissions, but the hardware can be busy receiving, DMAing frames,
using the descriptors, etc. Modifying rxq->bd.last in particular seems
risky. I think you need to disable the receiver, wait for it to
indicate it really has stopped, and only then make these
modifications.
