I haven't tested it with / without the fix above. But if I have to guess, 
the impact will be out-of-order completions for transmit descriptors and 
out-of-order of packets on receive. Although I have described it in the 
context of Networking, the out-of-order (reversed order to be precise) 
issue will be faced by any user.

Thank you for pointing it out. I will fix that function as well in the v2 
patch.
