Zynq macb

Hi Nicolas,

I did some testing on the current linux-next tree and ran iperf on Zynq.
It seems that network and even the whole system can collapse when doing
that.
I don't really know what's going on, but once I saw the message:
	"inconsistent Rx descriptor chain"
printed twice (system frozen afterwards).

I don't know what exactly is going wrong, but suspect something around
memory/DMA. I have no clue whether it makes any sense or not, but I
tried using the macb_* functions instead of the gem_* ones (see diff below).
That seems to result in a stable system and working Ethernet.

So, I guess my questions are:
Does any of this make sense?
Is it reasonable for the Zynq GEM to use the macb_* routines (are there
any implementation options to check whether one or the other are
appropriate for an macb implementation?)?
Any other hints?

	Thanks,
	Sören
