Jose Abreu 67afd6d1cf net: stmmac: Add Split Header support and enable it in XGMAC cores
Add the support for Split Header feature in the RX path and enable it in
XGMAC cores.

This does not impact neither beneficts bandwidth but it does reduces CPU
usage because without the feature all the entire packet is memcpy'ed,
while that with the feature only the header is.

With Split Header disabled 'perf stat -d' gives:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
