Dhananjay Phadke d9e651bc06 netxen: cut-through rx changes
NX3031 supports cut-through operation where ingress packets are
directly dma'ed into host buffers to reduce latency.

This requires larger dma buffers (2kb) and different alignemnt.

The buffer posting logic is changed a bit. The free rx buffers
are maintained in linked list, since the received reference
handles can be out of order. However rx descriptors are still
posted sequentially, indexed by producer.
