* ========================================
*
* DMA-capable ethernet hardware and zero-copy RX
* ----------------------------------------------
*
* lwIP changes the content of RECEIVED pbufs in the TCP code path.
* This implies one or more cacheline(s) of the RX pbuf become dirty
* and need to be flushed before the memory is handed over to the
* DMA ethernet hardware for the next telegram to be received.
* See http://lwip.100.n7.nabble.com/in-place-overwriting-of-payload-via-static-quot-tcphdr-quot-pointer-td31434.html
* for a more detailed explanation.
