Problem using big mtu around 4096 bytes is you end allocating (4096
+NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) bytes ->
8192 bytes : order-1 pages
It's better to limit the mtu to SKB_MAX_HEAD(NET_SKB_PAD),
to have no more than one page per skb.
Also the patch changes the netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() done in
init_dma_desc_rings() and uses a variant allowing GFP_KERNEL allocations
allowing the driver to load even in case of memory pressure.

This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of
descriptor.
STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING)
and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor
points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point
to only one data buffer pointer.
In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in
the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself,
whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode.
First version of this work has been done by Rayagond.
Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code.
A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for
managing enhanced and normal descriptors.
In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage.
Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines
needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).

This patch fixes a problem raised on Orly ARM SMP platform
where, in case of fragmented frames, the descriptors
in the TX ring resulted broken. This was due to a missing lock
protection in the tx process.

This patch stops advertising 1000Base capablities if GMAC is either
configured for MII or RMII mode and on board there is a GPHY plugged on.
Without this patch if an GBit switch is connected on MII interface,
Ethernet stops working at all.

To ease skb->truesize sanitization, its better to be able to localize
all references to skb frags size.
Define accessors : skb_frag_size() to fetch frag size, and
skb_frag_size_{set|add|sub}() to manipulate it.

This patch adds the MMC management counters support.
MMC module is an extension of the register address
space and all the hardware counters can be accessed
via ethtoo -S ethX.
Note that, the MMC interrupts remain masked and the logic
to handle this kind of interrupt will be added later (if
actually useful).

On some platforms e.g. SPEAr the wake up irq differs from the
GMAC interrupt source.
With this patch an external wake up irq can be passed through the
platform code and named as "eth_wake_irq".
In case the wake up interrupt is not passed from the platform
so the driver will continue to use the mac irq (ndev->irq)
