      sfc: Use write-combining to reduce TX latency · 65f0b417
      Ben Hutchings authored
      Based on work by Neil Turton <nturton@solarflare.com> and
      Kieran Mansley <kmansley@solarflare.com>.
      
      The BIU has now been verified to handle 3- and 4-dword writes within a
      single 128-bit register correctly.  This means we can enable write-
      combining and only insert write barriers between writes to distinct
      registers.
      
      This has been observed to save about 0.5 us when pushing a TX
      descriptor to an empty TX queue.
