This is an enhancement work that began several years ago. I try to catchup with
some performance improvement that has been implemented then by Havard.
The ring index logic and the TX error path modification are the biggest changes
but some cleanup/debugging have been added along the way.
The GEM revision will benefit from the Gigabit support.

The series has been tested on several Atmel AT91 SoC with the two MACB/GEM
flavors.

v2: - modify the tx error handling: now uses a workqueue
    - information provided by ethtool -i were not accurate: removed

I am about to re-send this patch series. Should I rebase it on top of
Joachim's recent modifications? I mean, I plan to rebase them on top of
net-next, is it the proper thing to do?

You should always base your patch on whatever tree you want your patches
applied to.

If you have a dependency on something not in that tree (for example, you
need something in the 'net' tree) you have to tell me.
