Hello Dale,

This is a good idea.  I suspect that most of the gain is from
turning off snooping and flushing/invalidating the cache explicitly.
Implementation-wise, I'd rather we not manipulate the MV643XX_ETH_BAR_?
registers directly in the driver.  Today that is done in platform
setup code.  This has promise but needs to be reworked.
Conclusion: yes, touching ETH_BAR isn't really well here, but where could
we move it ?
What about : arch/ppc/plateform/chrp_pegasos_eth.c ?

Friendly,
