Benjamin Herrenschmidt 7b49cd1c9e ftgmac100: Directly receive into sk_buffs
The current driver receive path allocates pages and stashes
them into SKB fragments. This is not particularly useful as
we don't support jumbo frames (which wouldn't be great with
the small FIFOs on all the known implementations) anyway.

It also makes us flush the caches and allocate more memory
for RX than necessary.

So set our RX buf to our max packet size instead (which we
bump to 1536 bytes to account for packets with vlan tags
etc...) like most other ethernet drivers.

Then allocate skbs when populating the receive ring and DMA
directly into them.

This simplifies the RX path further.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
