+Subject: [PATCH] bcm63xx: batch process RX path
+
+Use netif_receive_skb_list to batch process skb in RX.
+Tested on BCM6328 320 MHz using iperf3 -M 512, increasing performance
+by 12.5%.
+
+Before:
+[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr
+[ 4] 0.00-30.00 sec 120 MBytes 33.7 Mbits/sec 277 sender
+[ 4] 0.00-30.00 sec 120 MBytes 33.5 Mbits/sec receiver
+
+After:
+[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr
+[ 4] 0.00-30.00 sec 136 MBytes 37.9 Mbits/sec 203 sender
+[ 4] 0.00-30.00 sec 135 MBytes 37.7 Mbits/sec receiver
