It seems fine to me, but I have somes questions 

1) On V5, the receive function ftmac100_rx_packet() was able to process
several segments per skb. On V6 you process one frag only.

Isnt this NIC able to handle large MTU (say... 9000) ?

2) ftmac100_alloc_rx_page() is called and allocate a full page for a
rxdes.

128*4K -> 512 Kbytes of memory for RX ring

In V5, you were using half pages only, so 256 kbytes of memory.

If you look at other drivers (NIU, BENET), they are able to use exactly
128*2 kbytes (for a rxring of 128 slots, and 2Kbytes per slot)
