From 2a2bc012b98729ce9a39386faed28d11ee021683 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Hellstrom Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 03:02:39 +0000 Subject: GRETH: GBit transmit descriptor handling optimization It is safe to enable all fragments before enabling the first descriptor, this way all descriptors don't have to be processed twice, added extra memory barrier.
