This patch is to fill the first descriptor just before granting the DMA engine so at the end of the xmit. The patch takes care about the algorithm adopted to mitigate the interrupts, then it fixes the last segment in case of no fragments. Moreover, this new implementation does not pass any "ter" field when prepare the descriptors because this is not necessary. The patch also details the memory barrier in the xmit. As final results, this patch guarantees the same performances but fixing a case if small datagram are sent. In fact, this kind of test is impacted if no coalesce is done.
