[PATCH v2 net-next 0/8] API set for HW Buffer management

[Gregory CLEMENT]

Hello,

A few weeks ago I sent a proposal for a API set for HW Buffer
management, to have a better view of the motivation for this API see
the cover letter of this proposal:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2125152

Since this version I took into account the review from Florian:
- The hardware buffer management helpers are no more built by default
  and now depend on a hidden config symbol which has to be selected
  by the driver if needed
- The hwbm_pool_refill() and hwbm_pool_add() now receive a gfp_t as
  argument allowing the caller to specify the flag it needs.
- buf_num is now tested to ensure there is no wrapping
- A spinlock has been added to protect the hwbm_pool_add() function in
  SMP or irq context.

I also used pr_warn instead of pr_debug in case of errors.

I fixed the mvneta implementation by returning the buffer to the pool
at various place instead of ignoring it.

About the series itself I tried to make this series easier to merge:
- Squashed "bus: mvenus-mbus: Fix size test for
   mvebu_mbus_get_dram_win_info" into bus: mvebu-mbus: provide api for
   obtaining IO and DRAM window information.
- Added my signed-otf-by on all the patches as submitter of the series.
- Renamed the dts patches with the pattern "ARM: dts: platform:"
- Removed the patch "ARM: mvebu: enable SRAM support in
  mvebu_v7_defconfig" of this series and already applied it
- Rodified the order of the patches.

In order to ease the test the branch mvneta-BM-framework-v2 is
available at git@xxxxxxxxxx:MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public.git.

David,

I would like to merge the 4 first patches myself once you will have
take the 4 last patches of the series. Patch 5 do not modify files in
the net subsystem, but as there is a build dependency it is better if
you merge it in the same time as the 3 other ones.

Thanks,

Gregory
