de2104x: support for systems lacking cache coherence
Add a configurable Descriptor Skip Length for systems that lack cache coherence. (akpm: I think this should be done as a module parameter, not a compile-tinme option) Signed-off-by: Risto Suominen <Risto.Suominen@gmail.com> Cc: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

+ Setting this value allows to align ring buffer descriptors into their
+ own cache lines. Value of 4 corresponds to the typical 32 byte line
+ (the descriptor is 16 bytes). This is necessary on systems that lack
+ cache coherence, an example is PowerMac 5500. Otherwise 0 is safe.
+ Default is 0, and range is 0 to 31.
