All,

The default pipeline depth of 83xx CSB is 1 outstanding transcation. If change it to 4, the CSB performace will improve. Change the DMA transfer with cache line burst read/write The DMA performance improved 6x.

CHANGELOG: * improve the coherency system bus performance and improve the DMA transfer performace. Patch by Dave Liu, 21 July 2006
