[PATCH v2] marvell sky2 driver: fix so it works without unaligned accesses

From: Chris Metcalf
Date: Wed Apr 04 2012 - 10:19:05 EST


The driver uses a receive_new() routine that ends up requiring unaligned
accesses in IP header processing. If the architecture doesn't support
efficient unaligned accesses, and SKY2_HW_RAM_BUFFER is set,
just copy all ingress packets to the bounce buffers instead.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet for pointing out the SKY2_HW_RAM_BUFFER issue.

This allows the driver to be used on the Tilera TILEmpower-Gx, since
the tile architecture doesn't currently handle kernel unaligned accesses,
just userspace.
