[PATCH] synclink_gt add rx DMA buffer fill level control

[Paul Fulghum]

Add run time control for receive DMA buffer fill level
to allow application to control receive latency when using
stream oriented serial protocols that pass receive data
to application only after a DMA buffer fills. This was
previously a compile time option, but run time control
is needed when application changes data rate (and latency
requirements) or uses different data rates on different ports.
