This patch fixes the following kernel crash during SGMII based 1GbE probe.

	BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0  pfn:40fe6ad
	page:ffffffbee37a75d8 count:-1 mapcount:0 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
	flags: 0x0()
	page dumped because: nonzero _count
	Modules linked in:
	CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.17.0+ #7

This was due to hardware resource sharing conflict with the firmware. This
patch fixes this crash by using resources (descriptor ring, prefetch buffer)
that are not shared.
