[PATCH 2/3] net: fs_enet: don't unmap DMA when packet len is below copybreak

[Christophe Leroy]

When the length of the packet is below the defined copybreak limit,
the received packet is copied into a newly allocated skb in order
to reuse the skb. This is only interesting if it allow us to avoid
a new DMA mapping. We shall therefore not DMA unmap and remap the
skb->data. Instead, we invalidate the cache
with dma_sync_single_for_cpu() once the received data has been
copied into the new skb.

The following measures have been obtained on a mpc885 running at 132Mhz.
Measurement is done using the timebase with packets sent to the target
with 'ping -s 1' (packet len is 60):
* Without this patch: 182 TB ticks
* With this patch: 143 TB ticks

As a comparison, if we set the copybreak limit to 0, then we get
148 TB ticks. It means that without this patch, duration is even
worse when copying received data to a new skb instead of
allocating a new skb for next packet to be received
