Add dmaengine framework to communicate with the xilinx DMAengine
driver(AXIDMA).

Axi ethernet driver uses separate channels for transmit and receive.
Add support for these channels to handle TX and RX with skb and
appropriate callbacks. Also add axi ethernet core interrupt for
dmaengine framework support.

The dmaengine framework was extended for metadata API support.
However it still needs further enhancements to make it well suited for
ethernet usecases. The ethernet features i.e ethtool set/get of DMA IP
properties, ndo_poll_controller,(mentioned in TODO) are not supported
and it requires follow-up discussions.

dmaengine support has a dependency on xilinx_dma as it uses
xilinx_vdma_channel_set_config() API to reset the DMA IP
which internally reset MAC prior to accessing MDIO.

Benchmark with netperf:

Did not notice this before, but should consider using a separate set of net_device_ops with a different ndo_start_xmit() implementation, rather than add another layer of indirection here.
