After commit 6f0333b ("r8169: use 50% less ram for RX ring") the rx
ring buffers are always copied making dirty_rx useless.

Is this really equivalent?  I think cur_rx still needs to be
incorporated into whatever you use as the initial rx_left.

The rx ring can't contain hole so the code above must be read with
"tp->cur_rx == tp->dirty_rx" in mind.

Even if it is obviously not -net material, please specify the branch you
aim at (eg [PATCH net-next] or [PATCH net]).
