Yeah.  It's weird to talk about size as a BIT() flag.  The RXFRAME_ALIGN
is not needed.  Just say:

-#define RXFRAME_ALIGN      8
-#define RXFRAME_ALIGN_SZ   (1 << RXFRAME_ALIGN)
+#define RXFRAME_ALIGN_SZ 256

This is literally used for aligning the RX frame.  It seems like a crazy
thing to me that to aligned at 256 bytes.  I would have expected 64 bit
alignment or page alignment but not 256 byte alignment...  Weird.
