This patch makes the receive performance on some systems go from
714MB/s to 941MB/s. It adjusts the watermark of the receive queue
to be lower, thereby avoiding excess hardware flow control. This is
most important on the systems which have little/no additional buffering.

Different chips have different sizes of ram buffers, and some versions have

it maybe a problem if vendor keeps changing sizes.
There is the (unlikely) possibility that some of the errors on some of the

mm/nommu.c:validate_mmap_request() checks the length and if it is 0, just
returns the address ... this is in stark contrast to mmu's
mm/mmap.c:do_mmap_pgoff() where it returns -EINVAL for 0 length requests ...
