mv643xx_eth: don't include cache padding in rx desc buffer size
If NET_SKB_PAD is not a multiple of the cache line size, mv643xx_eth allocates a couple of extra bytes at the start of each receive buffer to make the data payload end up on a cache line boundary. These extra bytes are skb_reserve()'d before DMA mapping, so they should not be included in the DMA map byte count (as the mapping is done starting at skb->data), nor should they be included in the receive descriptor buffer size field, or the hardware can end up DMAing beyond the end of the buffer, which can happen if someone sends us a larger-than-MTU sized packet. This problem was introduced in commit 7fd96ce4 ("mv643xx_eth: rework receive skb cache alignment", May 6 2009), but hasn't appeared to be problematic so far, probably as the main users of mv643xx_eth all have NET_SKB_PAD == L1_CACHE_BYTES.
