ixp4xx: allocate all skbs using GFP_DMA
this ensures that dma bounce buffers will not be used frequently when bridging or routing frames between ethernet and wifi. significantly improves ath9k performance and obsoletes an ath specific patch git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@19051 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73
