Revert "skge: fix ram buffer size calculation"
This reverts commit 7fb7ac24. Heikki Orsila reports that it causes a regression: "Doing nc host port < /dev/zero on a sending machine (not skge) to an skge machine that is receiving: nc -l -p port >/dev/null with ~60 MiB/s speed, causes the interface go malfunct. A slow transfer doesn't cause a problem." See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9321 for some more information. There is a workaround (also reported by Heikki): "After some fiddling, I noticed that not changing the register write order on patch: + skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end); skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_WP), start); skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_RP), start); - skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end); fixes the visible effect.. Possibly not the root cause of the problem, but changing the order back fixes networking here." but that has yet to be ack'ed or tested more widely, so the whole problem-causing commit gets reverted until this is resolved properly.
