In preparation for unifying the skb_frag and bio_vec, use the fine
accessors which already exist and use skb_frag_t instead of
struct skb_frag_struct.

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.
This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

The dma_mapping_error() returns true if there is an error but we want
to return -ENOMEM and not 1.

Synopsys provides a new DesignWare Core Enterprise Ethernet MAC
IP (DWC-XLGMAC) for Ethernet designs. It is compliant with the
IEEE 802.3-2012 specifications, including IEEE 802.3ba and
consortium specifications.
This patch provides the initial 25G/40G/50G/100G Ethernet driver
for Synopsys XLGMAC IP Prototyping Kit.
