Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] gianfar: Map head TxBD first to skip a wmb()

Move the mapping of the head BD before the mapping of fragments.
As a result, the TOE (h/w offload) decision logic block can be
also moved up (as the TOE flag belongs to the head BD), resulting
in more localized code (TOE logic vs BD mapping code blocks).
The main point of this change is to update the buffer pointer of
the first BD way before the status field is updated, so that a
wmb() between these two operations is no longer needed. Note that,
for this controller, the R (status) bit for the head BD of a S/G
frame needs to be written last for a reliable transmission.
For the fragmented skb case, a local variable is used to temporarily
store the status info of the first BD, replacing a BD status read.
A natural merge of 2 if(do_tstamp) blocks was also possible.
