Subject: [PATCH] drivers/net: ks8842 Fix crash on received packet when in PIO mode.

From: Dennis Aberilla <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 30 May 2011 09:46:54 +1200

This patch fixes a driver crash during packet reception due to not enough
bytes allocated in the skb. Since the loop reads out 4 bytes at a time, we
need to allow for up to 3 bytes of slack space.
