Maciej Fijalkowski a65f71fed5 ice: map Rx buffer pages with DMA attributes
Provide DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING and DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attributes to
the DMA API during the mapping operations on Rx side. With this change
the non-x86 platforms will be able to sync only with what is being used
(2k buffer) instead of entire page. This should yield a slight
performance improvement.

Furthermore, DMA unmap may destroy the changes that were made to the
buffer by CPU when platform is not a x86 one. DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
attribute usage fixes this issue.

Also add a sync_single_for_device call during the Rx buffer assignment,
to make sure that the cache lines are cleared before device attempting
to write to the buffer.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
