#define RX_RING_SIZE            (1 << LANCE_LOG_RX_BUFFERS)

BTW,I also find it fishy why the driver uses only 1+3 buffers, since more
RAM is available.

It's 2^1+2^3.

tx & rx bufs aren't 2^1 + 2^3 = 10 pages. 

Rx buffers and Tx buffers are included in 'struct lance_init_block'

   volatile char tx_buf[TX_RING_SIZE][TX_BUFF_SIZE];
   volatile char rx_buf[RX_RING_SIZE][RX_BUFF_SIZE];

   volatile char tx_buf[2][1544];
   volatile char rx_buf[8][1544];

   RX_BUFF_SIZE = TX_BUFF_SIZE = 1554
   So tx_buf takes 1544 * 2 bytes, rx_buf takes 1544 * 8 bytes
        
In drivers/net/ethernet/amd/mvme147.c:
=====================================
  lp->lance.init_block = (struct lance_init_block *)(lp->ram); /* CPU addr */
  lp->lance.lance_init_block = (struct lance_init_block*)(lp->ram); /* LANCE addr of same RAM */

init_block and lance_init_block are set same address

In drivers/net/ethernet/amd/a2065.c:
===================================
  priv->init_block = (struct lance_init_block *)dev->mem_start;
  priv->lance_init_block = (struct lance_init_block *)A2065_RAM;

  The ram size (A2065_RAM_SIZE) is 0x8000 -> 8 pages -> order is 3

It seems original 3 is a right order, we need to fix the comments.
it's 2^3 * 4k = 32K = 32768 bytes.

But in drivers/net/ethernet/amd/hplance.c:
=========================================
  #define HPLANCE_MEMOFF 0x8000 /* struct lance_init_block */
  lp->lance.init_block = (struct lance_init_block *)(va + HPLANCE_MEMOFF); /* CPU addr */
                                                          ^^^^ it skips 0x8000, that is for HPLANCE
  lp->lance.lance_init_block = NULL; /* LANCE addr of same RAM */

  We need 2 * 32k for lp->ram?
