Add dmaengine framework to communicate with the xilinx DMAengine
driver(AXIDMA).

Axi ethernet driver uses separate channels for transmit and receive.
Add support for these channels to handle TX and RX with skb and
appropriate callbacks. Also add axi ethernet core interrupt for
dmaengine framework support.

The dmaengine framework was extended for metadata API support.
However it still needs further enhancements to make it well suited for
ethernet usecases. The ethernet features i.e ethtool set/get of DMA IP
properties, ndo_poll_controller,(mentioned in TODO) are not supported
and it requires follow-up discussions.

dmaengine support has a dependency on xilinx_dma as it uses
xilinx_vdma_channel_set_config() API to reset the DMA IP
which internally reset MAC prior to accessing MDIO.

Benchmark with netperf:

Drop on error, you're not stopping the queue correctly, just drop,
return OK and avoid bugs.

Why inline? Please remove the spurious inline annotations.

name labels after the target, not the source. Makes it a ton easier

Why create a cache ?
Isn't it cleaner to create a fake ring buffer of sgl? Most packets will
not have MAX_SKB_FRAGS of memory. On a ring buffer you can use only as
many sg entries as the packet requires. Also no need to alloc/free.

It was added considering size optimization, but I see it may have 
performance overheads. Will remove it in next version.

As I understand NETDEV_TX_OK returns means driver took care of packet.
So inline with non-dmaengine xmit (axienet_start_xmit_legacy) should
we stop the queue and return TX_BUSY?

Ok will rename it to target i.e goto err_dma_free_tx and fix other as well.

The kmem_cache is used with intent to use slab cache interface and
make use of reusing objects in the kernel. slab cache maintains a 
cache of objects. When we free an object, instead of
deallocating it, it give it back to the cache. Next time, if we
want to create a new object, slab cache gives us one object from the
slab cache.

If we maintain custom circular buffer (struct circ_buf) ring buffer 
we have to create two such ring buffers one for TX and other for RX.
For multichannel this will multiply to * no of queues. Also we have to
ensure proper occupancy checks and head/tail pointer updates.

With kmem_cache pool we are offloading queue maintenance ops to
framework with a benefit of optimized alloc/dealloc. Let me know if it 
looks functionally fine and can retain it for this baseline dmaengine 
support version?

I will add check for lp->eth_irq != -ENXIO and add its error handling.

You should only return BUSY if there is no space. All other errors
should lead to drops, and increment of tx_error. Otherwise problem
with handling a single packet may stall the NIC forever.
It is somewhat confusing that we return TX_OK in that case but it
is what it is.

The kmemcache is not the worst possible option but note that the
objects you're allocating (with zeroing) are 512+ bytes. That's
pretty large, when most packets will not have full 16 fragments.
Ring buffer would allow to better match the allocation size to 
the packets. Not to mention that it can be done fully locklessly.

I modified the implementation to use a circular ring buffer for TX
and RX. It seems to be working in initial testing and now running 
perf tests.

Just had one question on when to submit v6 ? Wait till dmaengine
patches([01/10-[07/10] is part of net-next? Or can I send it now also.

Thanks,
Radhey
