It should be max() instead of min(). Use 1/4 of available
descriptors for tx, and there should be at least 2 tx
descriptors.

The pointer address in buffer descriptors is physical address. The
pointer that processor used to access packet is virtual address.
Though the higher bits of pointer address used by the MAC may be
truncated to zero in special case, it is not always true in larger
designs.

The packet buffer is allocated at 4 bytes boundary, but the IP header
length and version bits is located at byte 14. These bit fields access
as 32 bits word and caused exception on processors that do not support
unaligned access.
The patch adds 2 bytes offset to make the bit fields word aligned.

This patch enabled the ethoc to allocate system memory as buffer
when there is no dedicated buffer memory.
Some hardware designs may not have dedicated buffer memory such as
on chip or off chip SRAM. In this case, only one memory resource is
supplied in the platform data instead of two. Then a DMA buffer can
be allocated from system memory and used for the transfer.

Please post networking patches CC:'d to [email protected]
or else they will not get tracked properly at:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
and thus they might get lost.
Thank you.
