I noticed that you are users of the LAN743x PCIe ethernet chip.

On non-cache snooping architectures such as ARM, the receive performance of
this chip's driver is about 1/3 of what it should be. I am currently preparing a
patch set which boosts performance x3, but it's not trivial, so I am looking for
LAN743X users who could help test the patch set - especially on arm64 or x86,
architectures I have no access to.

Happy holidays,
Sven
