ath10k was included in RHEL from 7.3 onwards so we have deprecated our 
driver in favour of the distro kernel driver.

ne2k-pci should be the same fix as via-rhine.

again, looks like the same fix as via-rhine.

rtl8723be was included in RHEL from 7.3 onwards so we have deprecated 
our driver in favour of the distro kernel driver.

I'll look to push out updates for ne2k-pci and r8169.

In addition to those above, I note from grepping my source code tree the 
following drivers may also be affected by the 'trans_start' issue:

3c59x
lan78xx
mptfc
sis900

although 3 of the 4 do weak link against 7.4 series kernels. I will most 
likely wait for bug reports and fix them should they arise.
