This series contains a number of misc improvements and preparation
patches for an upcoming series that adds support for the new PPv2.2
network controller to the mvpp2 driver.

The most significant improvements are:

 - Switching to using build_skb(), which is necessary for the upcoming
   PPv2.2 support, but anyway a good improvement to the current mvpp2
   driver (supporting PPv2.1).

 - Making the driver build on 64-bit platforms.

Changes since v1:

 - This series is split as a separate series from the larger patch set
   adding support for PPv2.2 in the mvpp2 driver, as requested by
   David Miller.

 - Rebased on top of v4.10-rc1.

You still have warnings to fix for the 64-bit build:

drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2.c: In function ‘mvpp2_rx’:
drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2.c:5125:10: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
