Current implementtion of descriptor init procedure only takes care about
ownership flag. While it is perfectly possible to have underlying memory
filled with garbage on boot or driver installation.
And randomly set flags in non-zeroed des0 and des1 fields may lead to
unpredictable behavior of the GMAC DMA block.
Solution to this problem is as simple as explicit zeroing of both des0
and des1 fields of all buffer descriptors.
