[PATCH] skge: check the allocation of ring buffer

The SysKonnect Genesis and Yukon chip sets have restrictions on the possible
control block area.  The memory needs to not cross 4 Gig boundary, and it needs
to be 8 byte aligned.  This patch checks and fails to bring the device up
if region is unacceptable.
