bcm4908: optimize Ethernet driver by using build_skb() 

This should slightly improve performance thanks to the better cache
usage.

Subject: [PATCH] net: broadcom: bcm4908_enet: use build_skb()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
RX code can be more efficient with the build_skb(). Allocating actual
SKB around eth packet buffer - right before passing it up - results in
a better cache usage.
Without RPS (echo 0 > rps_cpus) BCM4908 NAT masq performance "jumps"
between two speeds: ~900 Mbps and 940 Mbps (it's a 4 CPUs SoC). This
change bumps the lower speed from 905 Mb/s to 918 Mb/s (tested using
single stream iperf 2.0.5 traffic).
There are more optimizations to consider. One obvious to try is GRO
however as BCM4908 doesn't do hw csum is may actually lower performance.
Sometimes. Some early testing:
┌─────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────┬────────────────────┐
│ │ netif_receive_skb() │ napi_gro_receive() │
├─────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────┼────────────────────┤
│ netdev_alloc_skb() │ 905 Mb/s │ 892 Mb/s │
│ napi_alloc_frag() + build_skb() │ 918 Mb/s │ 917 Mb/s │
└─────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────┴────────────────────┘
Another ideas:
1. napi_build_skb()
2. skb_copy_from_linear_data() for small packets
Those need proper testing first though. That can be done later.
