Re: [PATCH] net/macb: increase RX buffer size for GEM

Macb Ethernet controller requires a RX buffer of 128 bytes. It is
highly sub-optimal for Gigabit-capable GEM that is able to use
a bigger DMA buffer. Change this constant and associated macros
with data stored in the private structure.
I also kept the result of buffers per page calculation to lower the
impact of this move to a variable rx buffer size on rx hot path.
RX DMA buffer size has to be multiple of 64 bytes as indicated in
DMA Configuration Register specification.

This looks like it will waste a couple hundred bytes for 1500 MTU
frames, am I right?
