Subject: Bug: mv643xxx fails with highmem

Commit 69ad0dd7af22 removed skb_frag_dma_map() in favour of mapping
all fragments with dma_map_single().  This fails when the driver is
used in an environment with highmem.

With this patch in place in 3.18:

I regularly hit the first BUG_ON().  Without the BUG_ON(), the machine
either freezes or oopses in the DMA API functions due to them being
passed an invalid struct page *.

So, I'm unclear whether this is a driver bug, or whether it's a core
netdev bug: should netdev be passing skbuffs with highmem pages
attached when the driver has NETIF_F_HIGHDMA clear, or is Ezequiel's
patch removing the ability to map highmem pages from this driver
incorrect?

Here's the ethtool -k eth0 output for this driver:
