pasemi_mac: further performance tweaks

pasemi_mac: further performance tweaks

Misc driver tweaks for pasemi_mac:
	* Increase ring size (really needed mostly on 10G)
	* Take out an unneeded barrier
	* Move around a few prefetches and reorder a few calls
	* Don't try to clean on full tx buffer, just let things
	  take their course and stop the queue directly
	* Avoid filling on the same line as the interface is
	  working on to reduce cache line bouncing
	* Avoid unneeded clearing of software state (and make the
	  interface shutdown code handle it)
	* Fix up some of the tx ring wrap logic.
