This patch series aim to improve the bcm63xx_enet driver by integrating the
latest networking features, i.e. batched rx processing, BQL, build_skb, etc.

The newer enetsw SoCs are found to be able to do unaligned rx DMA by adding
NET_IP_ALIGN padding which, combined with these patches, improved packet
processing performance by ~50% on BCM6328.

Older non-enetsw SoCs still benefit mainly from rx batching. Performance
improvement of ~30% is observed on BCM6333.

The BCM63xx SoCs are designed for routers. As such, having BQL is beneficial
as well as trivial to add.

Hopefully we can get some reviews now, but for inclusion in the tree
you'll need to repost once net-next opens (should happen in the next
few days):
