This is a series of performance improvements to the xgmac driver. The most
significant changes are the alignment fixes to avoid alignment traps on
received frames and using relaxed i/o accessors.

Can you please apply this series for 3.7. They are all self-contained to
the xgmac driver and fix some performance issues including unaligned
access traps in the IP stack. If 3.7 is not acceptable, then 3.8 is fine.

Note that only patch 5 has a v2 version.
