BTW: How can this work correctly when cur_tx wraps and dirty_tx is greater?

   {cur|dirty}_tx never wrap.


Both values are 32 bit and AFAICS they are only incremented (and never reset or
decremented).
So what prevents them from wrapping every 2^32 processed tx descriptors? Am I missing
something?
