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:
