If you look at how other device drivers use this CONFIG variable, you'll get a better idea of what to do here if you want to adjust the default copybreak. Also keep in mind the issue brought up by Eric Dumazet in that not all kinds of sky2 chips would need this copybreak adjustment, only ones that have the SKY2_HW_RAM_BUFFER bit cleared. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The driver uses a receive_new() routine that ends up requiring unaligned accesses in IP header processing. If the architecture doesn't support efficient unaligned accesses, just copy all ingress packets to the bounce buffers instead. This allows the driver to be used on the Tilera TILEmpower-Gx, since the tile architecture doesn't currently handle kernel unaligned accesses, just userspace.
