Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mv643xx_eth: enforce multiple-of-8-bytes receive buffer size restriction

The mv643xx_eth hardware ignores the lower three bits of the buffer
size field in receive descriptors, causing the reception of full-sized
packets to fail at some MTUs.  Fix this by rounding the size of
allocated receive buffers up to a multiple of eight bytes.

While we are at it, add a bit of extra space to each receive buffer so
that we can handle multiple vlan tags on ingress.
