Use page_pool and it's DMA mapping capabilities for Rx buffers instead
of netdev/napi_alloc_frag()
Although this will result in a slight performance penalty on small sized
packets (~10%) the use of the API will allow to easily add XDP support.
The penalty won't be visible in network testing i.e ipef/netperf etc, it
only happens during raw packet drops.
Furthermore we intend to add recycling capabilities on the API
in the future. Once the recycling is added the performance penalty will
go away.
The only 'real' penalty is the slightly increased memory usage, since we
now allocate a page per packet instead of the amount of bytes we need +
skb metadata (difference is roughly 2kb per packet).
With a minimum of 4BG of RAM on the only SoC that has this NIC the
extra memory usage is negligible (a bit more on 64K pages)
