This also probably needs cpu_to_le32().

Did you test this? This looks like it will result in double free after
packet RX, as you are giving the same page (referenced once) to two
distinct RX descriptors, that may be assigned different packets.

Since your not implementing any RX offloads, you might just allocate
fresh skb's with alloc_skb() and store skb pointer in rxdes3. Since
hardware doesn't touch it, you can skip cpu_to_le32()/le32_to_cpu()
there (leave a comment, though).

Unless this needs to work for ISA devices, you should drop GFP_DMA
allocation flag.
