I was doing UDP tests, as outlined in my V2 cover letter. Also, my cpu is 1G. Is yours 1.2G?

This is the V2 patch that I dropped.

I will force update my local net-next_master branch, to make testing this series easier.
Note that my local net-next_master branch has about 19 patches on top of this series.
so,

tkisky at office-server2:~/linux-imx6$ git reset --hard HEAD~19
HEAD is now at a125da7 net: fec: don't set cbd_bufaddr unless no mapping error

More testing is always better. Thanks
