sfc: The size of the RX recycle ring should be more flexible
Ideally the size would depend on the link speed, but the recycle ring is created when the interface is brought up before the driver knows the link speed. So size it for the maximum speed of a given NIC. PowerPC is only supported on SFN7xxx and SFN8xxx NICs. With this patch on a 40G NIC the number of calls to alloc_pages and friends went down from about 18% to under 2%. On a 10G NIC the number of calls to alloc_pages and friends went down from about 15% to 0 (perf did not capture any calls during the 60 second test). On a 100G NIC the number of calls to alloc_pages and friends went down from about 23% to 4%.
